Our range of products include:
Hercuslip™ Composite Slipjoint
A reliable, easily applied slipjoint material on load bearing brickwork and under concrete slabs. It is specifically designed to centralise loads and accommodate initial shrinkage and subsequent thermal movement.Ideal for post-tensioned and cast in-situ slabs.
Hercules™ Shearstrip
This is a reliable, economical bearing strip under short span cast concrete slabs. Designed to centralise loads and accomodate very small movements.
Herculon™ Modified Type "B" and Type "D" Bearing
These bearings have been developed to fulfil the need for a simple, low friction bearing on corbels and columns where a continuous slipjoint is inappropriate. They can be cast in-situ and also in post-tensioned slabs and beams. Type "D" is used where a highly stressed bearing is required.
