Innovation in Linear Joints
Similar to through penetration, for horizontal compartmentation
joints are primarily used as fillers. The traditional way of applying
such systems at the required place is by using caulks tested as
per UL 2079 standard. Often it is seen that it is very tedious and
unlikely to inspect the caulks without really breaking the assembly
and then measuring the thickness visually. And then the thickness
at the entire linear joint distance where the caulks are applied in
the buildings is almost impossible. This is why we now have some
innovations in this category too, which can be used by architects
and designers which can be used at the joint depth and fastening
it to the assembly. Please find below the picture of one of such top
track seal joints.
