Continuity of Seal: Making expansion joints watertight in cross-section is easy. Where joints will leak is at transitions in plane and direction as well as at transitions between dissimilar joint seals.

EMSEAL provides axonometric details for treatment of both transitions within and between its systems. Detailed and installed in accordance with these details, EMSEAL warrants its joint systems to be watertight at all transitions.
