Iron-Clad™ Joint Assembly

Iron-Clad™ joint assemblies are precise, armored joints designed to reduce your concrete slab-on-ground and equipment maintenance costs over the life of your concrete flatwork.

Iron-Clad™ Joint Assembly
Product Description

Armored Joints for Spall-Free New Construction Joints

Iron-Clad™ Joint Assemblies are armored joints engineered to eliminate spalling in floors with small, hard-wheeled lift truck traffic. Ideal for controlled environments where limited thermal expansion and contraction is expected. Iron-Clad™ joint assemblies protect slab edges and ensure adjacent surfaces remain in the same plane with repetitive loading when used with traditional plate dowels. High tolerance steel bars have square edges for exact and simple concrete finishing. The Iron-Clad™ joint is assembled with nylon nuts that yield with normal concrete shrinkage to reduce joint cracking. And, the built in joint-fill bar supports joint filler and allows wheels to transition smoothly across the joint. Iron-Clad™ joints assemblies for consistent and simple installation:

  • Arrives on site fully assembled
  • Installation is quick using traditional timber forms with plate dowels
  • Smooth, square edges provide a flat finishing surface
  • Built in joint-fill bar supports the semi-rigid joint filler
  • Newly designed mounting brackets allow for simple installation and form stripping
