Description

Overview
COPRITEC CPM By PROFILITEC

Collection: Copritec

Type: Modular expansion joint cover

COPRITEC CPM - Modular expansion joint covers, custom-made according to the required widths.‎ Particularly suitable as expansion joint covers for walls or ceilings, supplied both in the flat and in the corner version.‎ This profile consists of two lateral elements which work both as fixing system, with screws and dowels, and as restraining and movement devices for the aluminium profile, which is custom-made according to the required width.‎ Supplied in Silver anodised aluminium.‎ Patented system.‎ Settlements of the structure, expansion and compression due to thermal excursion, shrinkage and structural bending are elements that create continuous movements and stresses in the flooring that often generate problems of cracking or premature detachment of the covering.‎ It is therefore a good idea to provide an adequate grid of expansion joints during installation, choosing the type of joint and its location in consideration of the loads and stresses to which the cladding will be subjected and the different thermo-hygrometric linear expansion coefficients of the bedding and tiles and the possible interactions between different materials.‎ The splitting of the surface and the screed underneath is in fact decisive in order to guarantee a workmanlike laying in both the adhesive and traditional methods.‎ Always foresee a joint - In correspondence with a change in the substrate material and/or the casting joints.‎ - In correspondence with pre-existing discontinuities in the substrate, such as structural expansion joints and different screed blocks.‎ - At fixed elements such as columns and doors.‎ - At changes in the laying direction.‎ - At points where the tiled surface meets walls or containing elements.‎ The resulting modules should be as regular as possible.‎ As a general rule, the proportion between the two sides should not exceed 2:1.‎
