Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: Do you need an Tile Expansion Joint for tile?

A: The reason why Tile Expansion Joints are required is because tile will expand when it's subjected to any kind of moisture – water or even humidity – or when it is subjected to heat. Tile will contract when it dries or cools.

Q: How far apart should Tile Expansion Joints be in tiles?

A: These Tile Expansion Joints must be considered for all types of exterior flooring that have a length or width greater than 10 m. They must be put in place every 4.5 to 5 m to form sections with a surface area no greater than 25 ㎡ .

Q: Where to put Tile Expansion Joints in tiles?

A: Tile Expansion Joints should be located around the perimeter of all floors, in all vertical corners, against obstructions fixed to the structural background and over all discontinuities in building materials, e.g. at interfaces of concrete and brickwork.

Q: How much Tile Expansion Joint do I need for tile?

A: When you place a tile up to (abuts) a wall, it should have a gap (minimum of 5mm) between it and the wall. There should be a gap around the entire floor (or wall). This gap must be free of any adhesive or debris. Typically, this gap doesn't get filled with anything.

Q: Why we need Tile Expansion Joint?

A: They meet the need to divide the substrate to prevent the appearance of uncontrolled cracks. The Tile Expansion Joints must be the same width or wider than the pre-existing Tile Expansion Joints. A wider Tile Expansion Joint is used in anticipation of forces additional to those from the substrate and generated in the tile covering multilayer system. The width must provide for four times the maximum movements expected and never be less than 10 mm. For greater widths, it is recommended to put metal reinforcement in place that protects both the sealing material and the edge of the adjacent tiles. Unless flexible prefabricated elements are used coupled to the metal protective profiles, this type of Tile Expansion Joint must be filled with a compressible material up to the required depth of the sealing material. This compressible material will not allow the sealant to adhere. If the Tile Expansion Joint must be sealed directly on the pre-existing fill, a separation strip should be put in place.

Q: What is the working principle of Tile Expansion Joints?
