sku: wtz5500 · floor
best for: front-of-house areas with visible tile or carpet finish - hospitality, retail and commercial projects where aesthetics play an important role and seismic movement is expected.

Introducing the WTZ5500

The LUXFINISH WT is a full aluminum watertight expansion joint cover. The central pan provides for fixing of finishing material in a deep recess, concealing the profile and offering minimum visibility. The aluminum hinge cover accommodates thermal movement without stressing any metal component and undertakes multi-directional seismic movement including lateral shear.

movement

the wtz5500 takes up thermal and structural movement (the movement for each size is in the profile specifications below) while the cover stays seated on both sides of the joint.

seamless finished installation

with tile or carpet laid into the recessed pan and the aluminum hinge cover flush with the finish, the joint all but disappears from view in premium front-of-house floors.

Punctureless Water Barrier Integration

The integral punctureless water barrier runs below the pan with no fixings through it, keeping the joint watertight.
