Why Use a Movement Joint for Tiles?

Large tiled areas, heated floors, or sun-exposed spaces naturally shift due to thermal stress and building movement. Without proper detailing, these stresses can cause tiles or grout to crack. A movement joint for tiles provides controlled separation within the floor system, relieving pressure and ensuring a durable, professional installation.

Product Specifications

Our floor tile movement joints are manufactured to international standards, offering durability and flexibility for a wide range of projects.

Available Materials & Types:

  • Stainless Steel 304 / 316 – straight, corner, and double-side profiles
  • Aluminium – straight, corner, and double-side profiles
  • Lengths: 2.4 m
  • Heights / Sizes: 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 mm

These profiles are designed to keep clear lines over tiled surfaces even when subjected to mechanical loads, high foot traffic, and temperature variations.

Applications of Floor Tile Movement Joints

  • Living rooms – Prevent cracks in tiles in living rooms, kitchens and balconies.
  • Commercial facilities – Reliably operate in areas with high traffic: shopping malls, showrooms, shops.
  • Public Infrastructure – Provides security and anti-slip at airports, schools, and transportation hubs.
  • Medical and hotel sectors – Protect tile coverings in areas with high hygiene requirements, such as hospitals and hotels.

Design & Performance Benefits

  • Stress Absorption – Allows expansion and contraction without damaging tiles.
  • Edge Protection – Prevents chipping and spalling along tile borders.
  • Slip Resistance – Keeps tiled surfaces safe and consistent under heavy use.
  • Grout Integrity – Maintains joint alignment, reducing cracks in grout lines.
  • Durability – Stainless steel and aluminium resist corrosion and wear
  • Aesthetic Integration – Slim profiles blend with surrounding floor finishes

Installation & Standards

Our tile movement joint is made to comply with accepted standards like TCNA EJ171 and BS 5385, and it is simple to install using common tile adhesives. The project designer or engineer should always decide on joint placement and spacing to ensure that structural criteria are met.
