Movement and expantion joints

Expansion joints are essential profiles in construction, designed to absorb material movements caused by thermal changes, humidity, or natural shifts. Their proper implementation is key to ensuring the durability of structures and provides the ideal solution to absorb these movements without compromising the aesthetics or functionality of coverings.

A movement and expansion joint is installed in the gap between two building elements—such as slabs, wall claddings, or floor coverings—and allows for relative movement without causing cracks or structural damage. These joints prevent internal stress in materials, especially in large-scale constructions or those exposed to sudden temperature changes.
