Classic Conecto Dowel 10NA40 profiles remain the standard in facilities where floor edge protection and maintaining predictable expansion joint performance under high loads are essential. In practice, these solutions are used in halls and warehouses without the need for complex sinusoidal profiles.
Conecto DOWEL 10NA40-5D, as a variant with enhanced expansion parameters, allows for controlled load transfer between floor segments, minimizing the risk of point edge deformation. Conecto OMEGA 03NB, on the other hand, utilizes a design optimized for use in moderate traffic areas, ensuring resistance to micro-cracks and surface stability. Classic profiles are used in both warehouses and assembly halls, where maintaining continuous floor operation without excessive maintenance is a priority. Furthermore, their speed of installation translates into shorter construction times, which reduces schedule pressure in commercial projects. Classic profiles are also compatible with various systems, such as steel fiber-reinforced floors or double mesh.
The selection process should consider both the nature of the logistics traffic and the hardness and elasticity of the substructure. For facilities with a higher number of traffic cycles, the DOWEL variant, which provides edge protection, is more suitable. In lower-traffic areas, where aesthetics and low maintenance costs are key, OMEGA provides an optimal balance of functionality and investment. It is also advisable to schedule periodic inspections of the expansion joint edges to identify and prevent any gaps. Proper selection and maintenance of profiles helps maintain the stability of the industrial floor and predict long-term operating costs.
