sku: genflex · floor
best for: vehicular bridge decks, flyovers, car park ramps and podium decks needing a bolt-down, replaceable elastomeric joint unit.

Introducing the GENFLEX

The GENFLEX is a bolt-down elastomeric expansion joint made of factory-molded polychloroprene units, 240 mm or 430 mm wide, fixed to the deck on each side by hot-dip galvanized high-strength studs, nuts and washers set in bolt pockets. An optional 3 mm EPDM flashing membrane beneath the unit adds a secondary watertight line with provision for a drain pipe.

movement
01 — movement

movement accommodation

the factory-molded polychloroprene unit flexes with the movement across the joint: the 240 mm unit is drawn for a 35 mm nominal opening and the 430 mm unit for a 74 mm opening, without tearing, debonding or loss of anchorage.

water protection

rain runs off the continuous polychloroprene riding surface, and bolt-hole sealant closes each anchor pocket around the studs. steel plates are vulcanized into the rubber, and an optional 3 mm epdm flashing membrane beneath the unit adds a secondary watertight line.

load bearing

load bearing

built for vehicular traffic on bridge decks, flyovers, car park ramps and podium decks, the genflex presents a continuous elastomeric riding surface level with the adjacent deck, with no exposed steel plates in the wheel path.

this video demonstrates the assembly process, perfectly designed for easy installation for durability and reliability.

Optional EPDM Flashing Membrane

An optional 3 mm EPDM flashing membrane beneath the GENFLEX unit adds a secondary watertight line, with provision for a drain pipe (by others).

Smooth, Low-Noise Ride for Vehicles

The profile gives wheeled vehicles a smooth transition across the joint and generates little noise, for bridges, ramps and parking decks.

Steel Plates Vulcanized in Rubber

Steel plates are vulcanized into the rubber profile, combining the strength of steel with the flexibility of rubber in one watertight unit.
