Expert Expansion Joint Installation Dubai
Prevent cracks and structural damage. We specialize in supplying and installing high-performance expansion joint covers for floors, walls, and parking decks across the UAE.
Why Your Building Needs Professional Expansion Joint Installation Dubai
In the UAE's harsh climate, extreme temperature fluctuations—often swinging by 20°C in a single day—cause concrete structures to expand and contract significantly. Without properly calculated and installed expansion joints, this thermal movement leads to uncontrolled cracking, tiling failure, and severe structural instability. SSTS Fitout provides the expert expansion joint installation Dubai property owners rely on to protect their assets.
Movement Control & Structural Integrity
Expansion joints act as "breathing room" for your building. They are designed to safely absorb thermal expansion, seismic movement, and wind sway without transferring stress to the building frame. Failing to accommodate this movement can result in dangerous spalling of concrete and damage to finishes.
Our installation process adheres to rigorous international standards, including those set by ASTM International for building joint systems. Whether you have a commercial tower or a residential villa, installing the correct joint cover system ensures that your tiled floors, parking decks, and walls remain intact despite these continuous structural shifts.
Waterproofing & Safety Compliance
A failed expansion joint is the number one cause of water leaks in basements, podiums, and multi-story car parks. If water penetrates the joint, it can corrode the steel reinforcement within the concrete, leading to costly structural repairs.
Our comprehensive expansion joint installation Dubai services include integrated water barriers and fire-rated barriers where required. We use high-grade elastomeric sealants and heavy-duty metal covers from top manufacturers like Sika and Fosroc to ensure a watertight seal that lasts for decades. For parking areas, we can also integrate these works with our parking shade solutions to provide total protection.

Fix My JointsPrecision Installation Process
Correct installation is critical for joint longevity. We follow a strict 4-step protocol for every expansion joint installation Dubai project.
Assessment & Survey
We conduct a thorough site survey to measure the joint gap width, depth, and calculate expected thermal movement calculations to select the right system.
Surface Preparation
We clean, grind, and prime the concrete edges to ensure a perfectly flat and dust-free surface. This step is crucial for the adhesion of waterproofing membranes.
System Installation
We fix the water barrier membrane using epoxy adhesives and mechanically anchor the aluminum or steel metal profiles securely into the slab.
Sealing & Finishing
We apply high-performance elastomeric sealants and install the final cover plates (rubber, steel, or brass) for a flush, trip-free finish.
Custom Fabrication
We don't just use standard parts. We can fabricate custom cover plates to match any floor finish, including Marble, Granite, and Ceramic Tiles, ensuring an invisible look.
100% Watertight
Water damage is a major risk. We use double-layer membranes to ensure zero leakage in critical areas like podiums, basements, and swimming pools.
Certified Materials
Quality matters. We use approved materials that meet Dubai Municipality and Civil Defence fire ratings, ensuring your building is safe and compliant.
