Control Joint Systems - PVC Control Link

The PVC control joint, also known as the movement control joint, is a cross-section of extruded thermoplastic designed to absorb expansion and contraction between tiled, marble, or stone floor finishes. It helps prevent surface cracking and layer separation caused by thermal changes or substrate movement, while maintaining a sleek and continuous joint appearance. The profile is made from durable, UV-stable, and wear-resistant PVC material, available in various lengths and widths to accommodate different tile thicknesses and installation requirements, providing flexibility, longevity, and ease of cutting and installation on-site. The PVC control joint allows for controlled movement between adjacent tiles or marble, preventing cracks and separation due to thermal or structural stress. Its flexible and durable design ensures a sleek finish and long-lasting surface protection, making it ideal for large tiled areas in shopping malls, hospitals, airports, and commercial buildings. The PVC control joint is made from high-quality, flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC), specifically designed to ensure durability, UV resistance, and long-term dimensional stability. This material is non-corrosive, does not leave stains, and is resistant to most chemicals and surface cleaners, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is available in a range of standard colors such as gray, beige, and black to match surrounding tile or stone finishes, with the option for custom color choices available upon request to match the aesthetics of the project. The PVC control joint is compatible with a wide range of flooring materials, including ceramic tiles, porcelain, marble, granite, and other types of natural or manufactured stones. It easily integrates with standard tile adhesives, mortars, and grouts, ensuring strong adhesion and perfect alignment with surrounding finishes. This type of joint is also suitable for use with underlayment systems, waterproofing membranes, and concrete layers, making it versatile for both new installations and renovation projects. Its chemical resistance and flexibility allow for smooth performance in areas exposed to cleaning materials, moisture, or temperature fluctuations.
