It is the most comfortable expansion joint since it provides smooth surface and reduces noises when passing over vehicles.

Thormajoint material is also used on the banter, including the edges of the bridge plate. There is no other elastic type expansion joint with better properties than Thormajoint. Thormajoint is a useful material that has proven to be economical and reliable.
