Movement Joint Profiles
what are movement joint profiles?
Movement joints profiles by EMAC® are profiles specifically designed for use in the installation of flooring or ceramic coverings. Their main function is to divide large tiled areas to allow for the expansion and contraction movement of materials, thus preventing issues such as lifting or cracking. Below are some of their features and benefits:
- Materials: They are composed of profiles and a central body made of elastic rubber such as microcellular EPDM, as in the Novojunta® Metallic Aluminum profile.
- Available Colors: They are available in colors such as black, grey, ivory, cement, ash, with heights ranging from 6 to 125 mm.
Installation: They allow floor polishing after installation, as they are installed slightly below floor level. - Stress Absorption: They help prevent the accumulation of stresses caused by expansion and contraction of the flooring due to thermal variations.
- Damage Prevention: By allowing expansion and contraction movements, they prevent issues such as lifting and cracking in the flooring.
- Versatility: They are suitable for both exterior and interior floorings, with specific recommendations for each type of installation.

EMAC® offers a range of solutions for movement joints, designed to ensure durability, safety, and proper performance of the covering against structural and thermal movements. The main types of joints are:
- Movement Joints: Designed to absorb expansion and contraction movements in floorings, thus preventing the appearance of cracks and other damage.
- Perimeter Joints: Used at the perimeters of installations, for example at floor-to-wall or façade junctions, to allow movement without damaging the flooring or covering.
EMAC® offers solutions for movement joint profiles designed to absorb structural and thermal movements, ensuring the durability, safety, and aesthetic finish of the covering.
