Armour joints for concrete industrial floors
Armoured joints, also known as concrete construction joints or industrial floor joints, are used to protect concrete slabs in heavy-duty environments such as warehouses, logistics centres, and factories.
These systems ensure load transfer, prevent damage, and improve durability of concrete floors.
Our Heavy-Duty Concrete Joint Systems for Industrial Floors
Cosinus Slide® Joint
The Cosinus Slide® armour floor joint is by far the strongest armoured joint for concrete industrial floors. Invented in 2012, the Cosinus Slide® is a smart investment in the future of your industrial floor.
Cosinus Slide® Sealed Joint
The Cosinus Slide® Sealed Joint is an innovative joint for indoor and outdoor applications. Its rubber seal prevents dirt from entering the joints, keeping your floor and joint maintenance-free.
e-slide joint
The e-slide construction floor joint is our new solution for concrete industrial floors with lower load requirements.
e-straight joint
The e-straight construction joint is our new solution for concrete industrial floors with less static (racks) and dynamic (traffic) load requirements.
Omega 3 mm Sealed Joint
Available in galvanized or stainless steel, this joint has been designed specifically for outside applications.
HC Mini Omega
The range of the HC-Mini Omega joint is especially designed for applications in industrial floors on elevated bearing slabs, stage floors, parkings on roofs and also in small industrial floors in buildings and private houses.
Cosinus Connect joint
A special joint with a 2mm connecting plate which enables the anchorage to connect into existing concrete floor slabs.
Sinus Slide repair joint
In cases where serious damage has occurred at joint in the industrial floor, only a durable repair is of any use. It is important to eliminate the cause of the damage, which is often the impact of passing wheels. The application of the Sinus Slide solution in this instance has been shown to be a highly effective method of reparation at joint.
The Importance of Armoured Joints in Industrial Concrete Floors
Armoured joints (also known as heavy-duty expansion joints) are critical for protecting the edges of concrete slabs in high-traffic environments. Without a proper load transfer mechanism, the constant movement of forklifts, pallet jacks, and heavy machinery inevitably causes concrete spalling and joint degradation.

Our armored joint systems, including the patented Cosinus Slide® technology, act as permanent formwork during the concrete pour. They ensure seamless static and dynamic load transfer between concrete slabs. By eliminating the impact of passing wheels, our systems prevent floor damage, reduce vehicle maintenance costs, and ensure a vibration-free environment for logistics centers, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an armored joint in a concrete floor?
An armored joint is a heavy-duty steel profile installed within industrial concrete floors. It protects the fragile edges of the concrete slabs from impact damage caused by material handling equipment, accommodates the natural shrinkage of concrete, and facilitates smooth load transfer across the floor network.
Why is load transfer crucial for industrial floors?
Effective load transfer ensures that the immense weight of heavy machinery or static racking is evenly distributed across adjacent concrete slabs. This prevents vertical displacement (stepping) of the slabs and cracking, significantly extending the lifespan and structural integrity of the heavy-duty floor.
Which concrete joint system should I choose for my project?
The optimal choice depends on your specific traffic and load requirements. For the most demanding environments with heavy, continuous forklift traffic, the Cosinus Slide® offers ultimate, shock-free protection. For lower load requirements or specific outdoor applications, our e-slide, e-straight, or Omega 3 mm joints provide highly efficient and durable performance.
