Fittings

Used to allow a movement and expansion break in larger buildings. Where a movement joint is required, the full EUROSIX sheet beneath it should be cut along the centre of its valley with a space of 25mm to 30mm. Recommended spacing for Movement Joints are:

• Buildings with a length of 45 metres or less do not need a Movement Joint.
• Buildings with a length of 45 metres – 75 metres require one run of Movement Joints.
• Another Movement Joint will be required every additional 30 metres.
• Movement Joints require a minimum end lap of 150mm.
• Movement Joints are fixed directly into purlins (not through sheets)
• Fixings should go through the centre point of the Movement Joints at each Purlin position.

Fixed on the ridge detail to overlap the top end detail of a straight Movement Joint.
Fixings specification is the same as straight movement joints.

This is a flexible 2 piece movement joint ridge section which adjusts to fit at the crown of a duo-pitch roof.

Used to close the open end of a straight Movement Joint at the eaves.
