Swift solution for flawed floors

The company is sole European distributor for the patented SD7 Joint Saver, which is being marketed as the CoGri Joint Stabiliser by CG Flooring Systems, a group subsidiary. The CoGri Joint Stabiliser (CJS) is a split aluminium cylinder containing a screw and wedge torque mechanism. When inserted between two slabs and expanded, the pressure provides the interlock needed to restore load transfer and, says CoGri, virtually eliminates potentially dangerous slab movement. The spring-like mechanism allows the cylinder to expand and contract with the slab as it undergoes temperature changes. Key benefits of CJS include its quick, easy installation with minimal disruption – the floor can be used immediately. CoGri says the CJS system is also cheaper than full-depth joint replacement, retrofit dowels or sub-slab grout injections. Alan Yuill, director of CG Flooring Systems, says: "We have already installed CJS at a warehouse in Northampton for a global logistics company... The client was running materials handling equipment over the repaired joints within five minutes of the work being completed. In total, this section of the floor was only out of action for approximately two hours and we are really excited about the benefits this quick and easy repair method can bring to an operation."
