Neoprene-X-Pansion Loc Strips

Neoprene-X-Pansion Loc Strips

Available in Brass, Zinc & Stainless Steel


Latham Neoprene-X-Pansion Loc Strips are cost effective pavement movement control systems that are fast, efficient, and easy to install, leaving no mess. They provide a vandal resistant, attractive, permanent and maintenance free means of accommodating movement.

Neoprene-X-Pansion Loc Strips are manufactured under strict factory controlled conditions using high quality brass, aluminium or stainless steel plates bonded to a quality air channelled neoprene core. They are designed specially for installation in ornamental and architectural hard paving, to control the opening of floor joints during expansion and contraction. They absorb tile and paving growth and minimise edge erosion and cracking. Loc strips are delivered to the site ready for installation. They replace the previously recognised and outmoded, difficult to effect liquid poured construction and isolation joints, which were often omitted from the paving due to problems and cost in producing a satisfactory joint on site.

Loc Strips are 1800mm in length and are provided with anchoring loops at 175mm centres (for use with GW50/SSW50 Auxiliary Wire Anchors) for secure fixing and effective expansion and contraction control. Before selection all usage factors must be taken into consideration including technical characteristics of the chosen paving material. However for internal applications bay sizes in general have been 4.5 metre x 4.5 metre grids using a 6mm wide neoprene strip, with special consideration being given to site conditions. External paving bays are reduced to 3 metres x 3 metres with the installation of 12mm wide Loc Strips being considered. For insitu terrazzo and pebble paving maximum bay size recommended for internal applications not subject to direct sunlight is 7.5 metres x 3.75 metres and always with a side length ratio of 2:1 using a 6mm wide neoprene control section. All external paving should be reduced in dimension by 50%. If increased bay sizes are desired, first consideration should be to redevelop the pattern; as an alternative a 12mm wide Loc Strip should be considered. Special Application Neoprene-X-Pansion Loc Strips are available and are custom made to suit some special conditions.

Latham 6mm Neoprene-X-Pansion Loc® Strips are generally used in interior applications where the expected thermal expansion of the floor finish would be considered less than an external application. They are also suitable for external applications, however the bay sizes or distance between the strips will need to be reduced (see pages 4-6 for further set out and spacing details).

Latham 6mm Neoprene-X-Pansion Loc® Strips with 1mm Brass and Zinc and 0.7mm Stainless Steel side plates are intended to be used in all hard flooring applications and are designed to be installed in conjunction with wet bedded flooring applications (see pages 52-53 for further installation details).

Latham 6mm Neoprene-X-Pansion Loc® Strips are supplied in standard 1800mm lengths and should be installed so as to minimise the frequency of butt joints and short lengths. Also 3-way and 4-way butt joint intersections should be avoided (see page 54 for further details).

All Latham Neoprene-X-Pansion Loc® Strips are designed specifically for use with optional GW50/SSW50Wire Anchors for maximum control. For further information and specification details, see page 55 of catalogue.

Latham Neoprene-X-Pansion Loc® Strips should be installed in all locations of stress concentration; at changes in direction; wherever localised movement is anticipated and around rigid and fixed large objects such as columns, stair and lift wells, light posts, across driveways, at access covers, across doorways and anywhere that may impede expansion and contraction of the floor finish.

Latham 12mm Neoprene-X-Pansion Loc® Strips are generally used in exterior applications where the thermal expansion of the floor finishes is greater than internal floor applications.
