    Got a shop floor to do next month with polysafe xl, the subfloor is concrete and around two years old.
    Thing is there is an expansion joint running the full length of the subfloor.
    Any thoughts on prep and finishing over the expansion joint?
    Cheers

    yep, have to install a expansion joint.

    OR

    Install a floating system over the top. As the building has expansion joints i presume over 10 meters so need to leave expansion joints anyway so defeats the point!
