Movement Joint Profiles | Schluter

Schluter®-Systems is a company dedicated to creating innovative solutions for the tile and interior design industry. Their collections for wet rooms offer solutions for every step of construction, from creating waterproof divisions, to shower niches with integrated LED lighting and tile protection.

Movement joints are essential for accommodating natural shifts in the structure of a building. These profiles allow for movement at transitions, such as doorsills and walls, protecting the tile assembly from stress-related damage. They also prevent surface water penetration, offering a maintenance-free solution that extends the life of the installation.

Profiles not only protect tiles but also open up endless design possibilities while ensuring the structural integrity of any tiled surface.
