Care Instruction for Aluminium Movement Joint Trim Buff

How To Use Aluminium Movement Joint Trim Buff:


1. Choosing the Profile Height:
Due to the slight thickness added by the tile adhesive, the profile should be selected to be 1-2 mm higher than the tile thickness. This allowance is essential for achieving a clean, flush finish for your tile edge.

2. Applying the Tile Adhesive:
Clean the surface of dust and dirt, then apply tile adhesive to the appropriate area using a notched trowel.

3. Attaching the Profile:
Press the perforated flange of the profile into the adhesive bed and align the profile. The flange should then be fully embedded in the adhesive.

4. Laying the Tile:
Align the tile to be flush with the top edge of the profile, maintaining a joint of 2-3 mm between the tile and the profile.

5. Filling the Joint:
Finally, fill the joint completely with grout.

For cutting, a hacksaw or an angle grinder (using a new cutting disc) can generally be used.

Applications for Aluminium Movement Joint Trim Buff:

The buff finish, a soft, earthy tone, makes this trim a versatile option that blends well with a variety of tile colors and materials. Key applications include:

Movement Accommodation in Tiled Surfaces: This trim allows for natural expansion and contraction in tiles due to temperature changes or structural movement.

Commercial and High-Traffic Areas: In spaces such as shopping centers, hotels, and offices where floors undergo heavy use, this movement joint trim prevents cracking and tile damage by absorbing shifts in the substructure. The buff color helps maintain a professional, clean aesthetic without drawing too much attention.

The buff finish works well with natural stone or light-colored tiles, adding a soft, coordinated look that is both practical and stylish.
Industrial and Warehouse Spaces: In larger areas like warehouses or industrial settings where floor expansion is common, the movement joint trim ensures durability while preventing tile failure. The buff finish helps create a cohesive look in environments that require both functional performance and aesthetic appeal.
