Technical Specification
Description
The Aluma-Groove Control Joint is a precision-engineered movement bead designed for integration into large-scale floor finishes such as ceramic tiles, natural stone, and cementitious screeds. It features two perforated aluminum anchoring legs that are embedded into the tile adhesive or mortar bed, ensuring a permanent and secure mechanical bond.
At its core, a high-quality synthetic rubber movement zone absorbs the compressive and tensile stresses caused by thermal fluctuations and structural drying shrinkage. This prevents unsightly surface cracking and debonding of the floor finish, maintaining the aesthetic and structural integrity of the installation.
