Profiles & finishing systems · Movement & expansion joints
Movement & expansion joints.
Engineered joints that absorb structural and thermal movement across large tiled and resin floors.
Overview
What it does.
Hard floors move. Movement joints divide large tiled fields and follow structural joints, so expansion is absorbed in the joint and not the tile, preventing tenting and cracking. A rigid metal body carries the load while a flexible insert takes the movement.
