Description
This commercial movement joint is a robust aluminium and Santoprene profile designed to accommodate movement within tiled floors and walls. It helps prevent tile cracking, debonding and grout failure by safely absorbing expansion, contraction and minor substrate movement in line with BS5385 guidance.
Ideal for busy commercial and public environments, it creates a neat, continuous joint line across large tiled areas while protecting the tile edges from impact. Available in multiple heights and neutral colour options, it integrates discreetly with a wide range of ceramic, porcelain and natural stone installations.
Product Features
- Aluminium side sections with a flexible Santoprene infill for effective movement absorption and tile edge protection.
- Available in a range of heights to suit common tile thicknesses: 8mm, 10mm, 12.5mm, 15mm, 18mm and 22.5mm.
- Choice of infill colours – beige, black or dark grey – to blend with grout lines and tile shades.
- Designed in accordance with BS5385 recommendations for movement joints in tiled installations.
- Suitable for both floor and wall tiles in interior commercial and light industrial applications.
- Perforated anchoring flanges provide secure mechanical key into tile adhesive and substrate.
- Durable, corrosion-resistant construction suitable for high-traffic areas and long-term use.
Key Features and Benefits
- Helps prevent cracking and lifting of tiles by safely accommodating thermal and structural movement across the floor or wall.
- Protects exposed tile edges from chipping and impact damage, extending the life of the tiled surface.
- Improves the appearance of large tiled areas with a straight, uniform joint line in a choice of subtle colours.
- Supports compliance with recognised tiling standards, giving installers and specifiers added confidence on commercial projects.
- Quick and straightforward to install alongside tiles, with profiles matched to common tile thicknesses for a flush finish.
