Aerostar is a wall-to-wall expansion joint cover built around a lock profile and manufactured from ASTM 6063 T6 aluminium. The lock detail mechanically retains the cover over the joint gap, and the system is applied to interior and exterior walls of commercial and institutional buildings.
Aerostar combines secure cover retention with a clean architectural line. The locking profile keeps the cover firmly seated during movement, while the aluminium construction resists corrosion and maintains a crisp finished edge.

What is Aerostar?
Aerostar is a wall-to-wall expansion joint cover from Dseal that uses a lock profile to securely retain the cover over the joint while presenting a clean architectural line.
What does the lock profile do?
The lock profile mechanically retains the cover so it stays firmly seated during wall movement, reducing the risk of dislodgement in busy areas.

Aerostar is made from ASTM 6063 T6 aluminium, a corrosion-resistant grade well suited to both interior and exterior walls.
Where is Aerostar used?
Aerostar is applied to interior and exterior wall-to-wall joints in commercial, institutional and public buildings where secure cover retention matters.
What movement does Aerostar accommodate?
Aerostar accommodates the expansion and contraction movement of wall-to-wall joints while the lock profile keeps the cover seated throughout.
Can Aerostar be used on exterior walls?
Yes. Its ASTM 6063 T6 aluminium construction is corrosion-resistant, so Aerostar performs on both interior and exterior wall applications.
