Zinc
Zinc was one of the first materials used for trims and transitions. It can be used in terrazzo floors as the surface can be ground to a polished finish. It has excellent weather and wear resistance. Products in zinc are 72" long and have a silver metal finish. Products can be fabricated to allow profiles to be formed around designs using our Flex edge.
Silicone rubber is used in the same application as polyurethane expansion joints but can be formulated for both low temperature applications and stretching or compression beyond that of polyurethane. Both are available in a limited range of colors.
Polyurethane is polymer with both plastic and rubber characteristics. Genotek has found it excellence for inserts in expansion joints where its wear and weather resistance combined with bond ability to metals make it a superior product for this application.
