Cover Plate System for Expansion Joints in High-Traffic Areas
The Willseal Protector Plate™ – Flex is a robust cover plate system engineered to bridge expansion joints in environments with heavy pedestrian and vehicular activity. This high-performance system incorporates a durable aluminum cover plate with two mechanical hinges and flexible rubber nosing pads, allowing it to respond independently to vertical movement. It provides a secure, smooth transition between concrete surfaces and ensures long-term durability even in demanding applications.
Key Benefits
