Wabo®SeismicPan (SPJ)

Blends Into Surronding Environment

Wabo®SeismicPan (SPJ) joint assembly is a nearly invisible floor system capable of accommodating parallel lateral shear and multi-directional seismic movement including vertical displacement. It is ideal for use with natural stone pavers and slabs in atriums, courtyards and walkways as well as with most traditional flooring materials. SeismicPan stays flush during thermal movement and rises upward during a seismic event allowing for full movement within the structural joint opening.
