At Tile Fix, we're excited to announce the latest addition to our product lineup – the Dural Micro Joint Kit. These innovative kits are designed to address a common challenge in tiled floors – the need for movement joints. In this blog post, we'll delve into why movement joints are essential for tiled surfaces and how the Dural Micro Joint Kit offers an excellent alternative with its focus on seamless aesthetics and performance.
The Importance of Movement Joints in Tiled Floors
Tiled floors are not just about visual appeal; they need to withstand the test of time while maintaining their stunning appearance. One critical factor that often goes unnoticed is the effect of structural movement on tiled surfaces. Buildings naturally experience expansion, contraction, and settling due to factors like temperature changes, humidity, and settling of the foundation. These movements can exert stress on tiled floors, leading to unsightly cracks, fractures, or even detachment of tiles.
Why Colour-Matched Movement Joints Matter
While movement joints are essential to accommodate these structural shifts, they often come with a common concern – aesthetics. Traditional movement joints, though functional, can disrupt the visual harmony of a beautifully tiled floor. This is where the Dural Micro Joint Kit steps in as an innovative solution.
