What is Thorma-Joint?

 

Thorma-Joint is the best choice for bridge expansion joints with a total movement of two inches or less. Thorma-Joint is the original asphaltic plug joint system and has been in use throughout the World since 1982. It is this experience that enables DSA to provide the best plug joint system on the market. Backed by a sales and technical team with an unmatched level of experience, you can rest assured that you will be receiving a top quality joint system and a superior level of customer service and technical support.

Using BJ Super™, our specially formulated bridge joint binder material, and thoroughly tested granite aggregate, Thorma-Joint is engineered to withstand the abuse of today’s busy roads without cracking, rutting or material loss. By maintaining its integrity and remaining watertight, Thorma-Joint safeguards your investment by protecting your bearing surfaces from moisture and debris allowing the structure to move as it was designed.

Unlike other bridge joint types, Thorma-Joint is low cost, watertight, smooth riding and requires no maintenance. Typically lasting the life of the wearing course, it is truly an “install it and forget it” solution for low movement applications.

 

Who Installs Thorma-Joint?

  • Thorma-Joint is installed by DSA’s own installation crews as well as a network of certified installers located throughout the U.S. Each installer is factory-trained and reviewed on a regular basis to ensure the joint system is being installed in accordance with our rigorous standards.

Why Should You Use Thorma Joint?

  • DSA uses only top quality materials. Each component of our joint system is tested for conformance to specification in our in-house laboratory before shipment.
  • Thorma-Joint requires no maintenance. No seals to replace, no cracks to clean, no armors to repair.
  • Thorma-Joint is smooth riding.
  • Because over 1 million lineal feet of joint installed and two decades of research and development have made Thorma-Joint the smoothest riding, longest lasting watertight joint on the market today.
