Fabric expansion joints are flexible, non-metallic components designed to absorb thermal expansion, vibration, and misalignment in industrial ducting and piping systems.
Vanox, a trusted fabric expansion joints manufacturer in Turkey, provides custom-engineered solutions for power plants, cement factories, process industries, and high-temperature applications worldwide. As a leading fabric expansion joints manufacturer in Turkey, Vanox combines European quality standards with cost-effective production and global export capability.
What Are Fabric Expansion Joints?
Fabric expansion joints, also known as non-metallic expansion joints, are engineered to compensate for axial, lateral, and angular movements caused by thermal expansion, mechanical stress, and vibration.
They are especially suitable for applications where metal expansion joints are not practical due to high temperature fluctuations, corrosive gases, or complex movements.
