Control Joint Systems - Aluminum Control Link

The aluminum movement control joints are precisely manufactured and consist of two extruded aluminum angles separated by a central flexible rubber piece. This design allows the joint to efficiently absorb horizontal movement between adjacent tile or marble surfaces, maintain its straightness, and prevent cracks or edge damage caused by thermal or structural stresses. These joints are designed to relieve movement stresses within tiled or stone flooring systems by allowing controlled expansion and contraction. The rubber part acts as a flexible barrier, while the aluminum sides provide mechanical strength and edge protection. This combination ensures durability, reduces the risk of tile separation, and maintains an aesthetic appearance in large or high-traffic areas. Made from high-quality extruded aluminum with a flexible EPDM or PVC rubber filler, these profiles provide an ideal balance between rigidity and flexibility. The aluminum surfaces are available in natural anodized, powder-coated, or polished finishes, offering corrosion resistance and visual consistency with surrounding finishes. Aluminum movement control joints are compatible with flooring systems made of ceramic, porcelain, marble, and granite, and can be installed using most tile adhesives and mortar bases. The chemical stability of the rubber filler ensures reliable performance in various indoor environments, including areas exposed to moderate temperature fluctuations.
