C/S @ de Young MuseumA major consideration of the de Young project was that theexpansion joint covers must be ‘virtually invisible’ within themuseum’s weathered copper skin. C/S’ XLS cover system isseamlessly incorporated in the copper panels within the structured frame. The 24" XLS covers are designed to releasefrom the wall to provide full seismic movement.

C/S @ Orange County Performing Arts CenterIn the interior of the magnificent Segerstrom Concert Hall,Architects: Pelli Clark Pelli specified C/S 12" LAF Seismic WallCovers. Virtually imperceptible the LAF wall covers are lightweight, match the concert hall’s wall finish without visual interruption and provide full movement of the joint without damage to surrounding wall surfaces.

To provide movement and securitybetween the Newseum and the adjacentCanadian Embassy, Polshek Partnershipspecified SC-1200 Exterior Covers andSRJ-1200 Roof Covers that tie both buildings together. The covers with factory mitered transitions are attached tothe building’s delicate marble surface.

Selection Chart

The size of joint and movement dynamics dictate whether you

require a standard or seismic expansion joint cover system. Before

making a selection, there are other decisions you must make. The

selection of the floor cover is often the most critical step in the

specification process since the performance of the floor cover has the

greatest impact on the occupants of the building. The presence of rolling

loads and the need for hygiene are major considerations in cover

selection, while aesthetics in seismic covers is also a significant issue.

Specialty covers, such as roof covers

and vehicular joint systems, are

available for most joint sizes and

movement dynamics.

Having selected the floor cover, identifying a matching wall cover is a relatively simple task.

When it comes to seismic covers, however, there are options driven by both functionality and

aesthetics. Choose from covers that become detached from the wall to minimize damage or

ones that are self-closing to minimize post-event maintenance. Many of our wall covers are

designed to accept a range of surface materials to maximize concealment of the cover.
