the wtz1685 takes up thermal and structural movement of ±28% to ±33% while the cover stays seated on both sides of the joint.
the cross-section reveals the integral epdm/tpv water barrier running continuously beneath the aluminum interlocking profiles - 100% watertight with no punctures, connected directly to the adjacent waterproofing membrane.
the wtz1685 under traffic, rated vehicular. the load capacity of each size is in the profile specifications below.
recessed installation with internal tile finish keeps the profile flush with the surrounding floor, exposing only slim aluminum sightlines for areas with heavy-duty traffic.
The aluminum interlocking profiles sit level with the finished surface, shown here in concrete pavers, porcelain tile and polished concrete.
