Movement Joints
Their range of Coloured Movement Joints are well-established within the UK and have been specified and installed on projects across the UK, including car showrooms, shopping centres, transport facilities e.g. airports and bus stations, retail outlets and many more.
Judith Mawtus, of Dural UK, comments, “Clients generally feel that Movement Joints are obtrusive and would spoil the appearance of their tiled floor. If their surface tiling pattern is an intricate one, the last thing they want is a black movement joint running through the middle. However, with our range of bespoke movement joints we can specify joints with the exact colour of the tiled surface, grout colour, or any colour in the RAL range, to create a seamless finish.”
Dural’s Movement Joints are robust, durable and can cope with heavy stresses. They are manufactured to exceed BS5385 which guarantees seamless tiled flooring which adheres to functional and aesthetic standards (when correctly installed).
In 2016, Dural introduced new and exciting products to use with their range of Movement Joints, in the form of Micro Joints , Cross Joints and Logo Joints . Micro Joints provide discreet protection for tiled floor installations laid over underfloor heating systems; Cross Joints are the new fast way to create a cross section in Movement Joint installations; and Logo Movement Joints are joints which include brand logos and company names.
Seamless tiled flooring
The best way to protect tiled flooring from subfloor movement is by incorporating CI+ Anti-Crack Matting and movement joints into installations.
The decoupling matting provides protection from the subfloor expansions and contractions, by effectively absorbing any lateral (horizontal) movements. Movement joints effectively distribute stresses evenly between the subfloor and the tiled flooring, by absorbing any vertical movement at the junction where two substrates meet.
Decoupling matting and movement joints are both designed to cope with heavy stresses from subfloors.
