SKL Bearing

Benefits |
| For large initial movement |
This bearing is especially suitable for taking up the large initial displacements of concrete slabs on drying followed by the smaller cyclic thermal movements. |
| Reversion to shear action |
The silicone lubricant allows a large initial movement to be accommodated and following it's absorbtion into the EPDM elastomer, sheer action permits further a 3mm deflection. |
| EPDM Elastomeric core |
Provision for some rotational movement & for small surface irregularities. |
| Expanded polystyrene surround |
Facilitates in-situ pouring of superstructure concrete & locates each pad in position. |
| Waterproof top layer |
Prevents grout or wet concrete from penetrating between the core and the expanded polystyrene. |
| Supplied ready to lay |
SKL pads or strips require no additional preparation on site before laying. |
