Movement Joints in Floor Tiles

Movement joints in floor tiles mean that tiles are prone to warping and cracking when they are affected by moisture or thermal expansion and contraction, so a gap needs to be left, but the gap must be blocked with a metal strip.Regarding the installation method, you will need to choose a expansion joint profile that matches the thickness of the tiles you have chosen. Then apply tile adhesive, and press the movement joint into the adhesive, making sure the expansion joint is fully embedded. Next install your tiles so they are flush with the top edge of the motion joint profile.

The role of movement joints in floor tiles is not small in some floor tiles that are affected by factors such as temperature changes, uneven foundation settlement, and earthquakes. By disconnecting the structure at these easily deformed sensitive parts in advance, a certain gap is left to ensure that each part of the building has sufficient deformation width in these gaps without causing damage, cracks or even collapse of the building. This will increase the life of the building and provide higher safety performance. Therefore, this expansion joint is widely used in office buildings, commercial buildings, gymnasiums, high-standard factory buildings and so on.
