Fire-Rated Expansion Joints: Principles, Products, Practice and Innovation

Join EMSEAL for a virtual presentation on a versatile expansion joint sealant technology. Attendees will explore its features, including fire resistance, waterproofing, and soundproofing, all in a single installation. We’ll also compare this technology with existing options in the industry and discuss key principles.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze how watertight, energy efficient, fire-rated expansion joints are the consequence of a process in which we: Design, Detail, Specify, Bid Erect, Manufacture, and Install in 3-D
• Learn why it is critical to require certified performance and test reports from national laboratories in specifications.
• Investigate how fire-rated expansion joints can contribute to sound attenuation, reduce energy loads for heating and cooling, eliminate high-emitting VOC’s, and save in materials and resources through long life-cycle material choices.
• How to meet Life Safety obligations while practicing good building science
