Hospitals and Healthcare Buildings Flyer

Choosing the right expansion joint systems for hospitals, clinics, and other patient-care structures is crucial to avoid unsightliness, noise, damage, and even danger. The selection criteria must involve more than joint size, expected movement, and pedestrian traffic. Loading requirements for equipment such as gurneys, x-ray machines, and other mobile medical equipment is an important consideration for hospitals and medical office buildings. Other overlooked criteria include sanitation, sound transmission, fire ratings, moisture, and aesthetics.
