Why is Dilatation Lath Used?

Dilatation bars are manufactured by Ankara Teknik Yapı in accordance with quality standards. There is a gap between buildings that are not connected to each other and are side by side. This gap is left to prevent possible damage that may occur due to movements of the structures and different Dilatations. A dilatation bar is mounted on the dilatations to make them look aesthetically pleasing.

Dilatation laths are designed with materials such as PVC and aluminum in buildings. It can be manufactured with different materials and methods depending on the area to be used. The most important feature of using Dilatation lath is to ensure continuity in waterproofing. It also prevents the existing blank from breaking and cracking during movement. Dilatation slats are designed with strong and durable materials.

What are the Features of Dilatation Lath?

Wall Dilatation profiles provide both thermal Dilatation and contraction by preventing stresses within the structures. Dilatation laths safely absorb the contractions and dilatation of construction materials. It prevents the building from being damaged by soil movements caused by earthquakes.

Dilatation slats; It is installed between pavement corners, railroad tracks, pipe system intersections and bridges. The dilatation profile is designed to make the buildings resistant to stress. Dilatation laths play an active role in breaking the connection between exactly the same material sections. Dilatation bar features can be listed as follows;

It ensures that all the pieces come together.
It allows movements caused by earthquakes and minimizes damages.
It absorbs both contractions and Dilatations of building materials caused by heat.
It also absorbs vibrations.

How to Choose Dilatation Bar?

The following points should be taken into consideration when choosing a dilatation bar:

The Dilatation slats to be chosen for the floor must be suitable for vehicles such as forklifts.
The movement capacities of the slats must be determined.
Over-coating and under-coating Dilatation profiles should be selected. Before applying wall, ceiling and floor coverings, under-coating Dilatation strips are made. After the application, overlay Dilatation strips need to be applied to the area. The project must be created very well so that the applications are not interrupted.
Fire barriers are installed for fire insulation in the gaps in the buildings.
Water insulation may be required for dilatation gaps. For this reason, water insulation materials must be selected before choosing the dilatation profile. It should be thoroughly investigated whether the dilatation slats will damage the water insulation.
The thickness of the coating materials used in under-coating Dilatation lath applications is also important. The Dilatation bar to be selected plays an active role in determining the foot height of the profile.

How to Install Dilatation Lath?

The manufacturing of wall Dilatation profiles varies from profile to profile. For example, in aluminum profiles, the facial parts of the profile are first masticated. Immediately afterwards, the masticated area is reinforced by screwing it with the help of screws. After this process, it is examined whether there are headings next to the profile. If there are gaps, they are filled with suitable materials.

Dilation gaps that are not too wide are compressed with a material called wick. Then, a construction chemical called dilatation joint is applied on it. The material should be applied very carefully to prevent the dilation gap from filling with water. Particular care should be taken not to leave any gaps. Another important point when choosing a profile is that it suits the space in the area. The profile can also be selected with mesh depending on the suitability of the area. The profile mesh is adhered to the facade with the help of liquid. Care should be taken not to leave any spaces at this point.

Dilatation Bar Prices

Dilatation profile prices vary depending on many factors. Factors affecting the price can be listed as follows:

Type of materials used and their production costs
The area where the profile will be used

Dilatation profiles began to be used more in construction with the developing technology. It plays an important role in the construction of durable and high-quality buildings. For this reason, Dilatation laths have become mandatory in construction and create a stylish appearance in the areas where they are applied. The prices of Dilatation bars, which play an active role in the longevity of buildings, also vary from manufacturer to company.
