Expansion Joint Covers in Ocoee

Metal roofing and fabrication in Ocoee, Florida, must contend with high humidity and intense heat year-round. While Ocoee is inland, its proximity to the coast means occasional exposure to salt air, which can accelerate corrosion on certain metals. The region also faces hurricane exposure, requiring robust installation methods to withstand high winds.

What to keep in mind locally

  • Ensure proper ventilation to manage humidity and prevent condensation buildup under the roof.
  • Select appropriate metal alloys and coatings resistant to corrosion, especially if near coastal influences.
  • Verify that installation meets or exceeds wind uplift resistance standards for hurricane-prone areas.
  • Consider the age and structural integrity of existing buildings when planning new metalwork or roofing.

What the work involves

This service involves fabricating custom metal covers that fit precisely over expansion joints. The covers are then securely attached to the adjacent roofing or building materials to allow for independent movement while protecting the joint from weather and debris.

When this comes up

  • When buildings are constructed with materials that expand and contract due to temperature changes.
  • To protect structural joints from water infiltration and debris accumulation.
  • As part of regular building maintenance to ensure the integrity of the building envelope.
  • When existing expansion joint covers are damaged or have reached the end of their service life.
