Modular joints system COFLEX CMB The co-extruded base profile is composed of two synthetic resins. The base flanges are in made of rigid Resil while the central joints are in a softer Resinflex. The system can be easily adapted to almost any height by interlocking the modular COFLEX CM clips: minimum height of 30mm, with vertical clicks at 15 - 20mm intervals. The COFLEX CMB modular, mortar bed expansion joint should be used with an additional expansion joint at the tile floor level, such as a COFLEX CA profile, to allow differential movement and prevent tile cracking and tenting.
COFLEX CM joints: modular system of different heights for mortar beds
profilitec > Accessories
COFLEX CM joints: modular system of different heights for mortar beds COFLEX CM is a modular expansion joint system composed of clips that vertically interlock to create movement joints that match the height of the mortar bed + tile flooring. The system consists of two co-extruded clips: open clips (CM 200 P) which click into each other at 15 - 20mm intervals to achieve the desired height, and a closed clip (CM 300 P) with an upper visible surface placed at the floor level to receive the tile edge. Ideally used in retail shops, hotels, sports facilities and schools. Suggested floor bays: 16 - 25m2. How to install joints COFLEX CM INSTALLATION: • Align and position the expansion joint so that it slightly protrudes above the mortar bed. • Lay the tiles as normal. • Level the joint until it is completely embedded and flush with the tile edge. • Completely fill the residual space between the profile and tile with grout.
COFLEX CF joints in synthetic material for mortar beds

COFLEX CF joints in synthetic material for mortar beds COFLEX CF mortar bed movement joints in co-extruded synthetic resin are conceived to subdivide large tile bays. Exclusively suitable for pedestrian traffic, this profile provides limited protection to the tile edges and compensates slight differential movement due to substrate contraction and expansion. Install with tile adhesive. Ideally used in retail shops, hotels, sports facilities and schools. Suggested floor bays: 16m2. How to install joints COFLEX CF INSTALLATION: • Align and position the expansion joint so that it slightly protrudes above the mortar bed. • Lay the tiles as normal. • Level the joint until it is completely embedded and flush with the tile edge. • Completely fill the residual space between the profile and tile with grout.

COFLEX CD modular joints for mortar installation in synthetic material COFLEX CD mortar bed movement joints in co-extruded synthetic resin are conceived to subdivide large tile bays. Extension clips may be vertically interlocked to match high thicker mortar beds. Exclusively suitable for pedestrian traffic, this profile provides limited protection to the tile edges and compensates slight differential movement due to substrate contraction and expansion. Install with tile adhesive. Ideally used in retail shops, hotels, sports facilities and schools. Suggested floor bays: 16m2. How to install joints COFLEX CD INSTALLATION: • Align and position the expansion joint so that it slightly protrudes above the mortar bed. • Lay the tiles as normal. • Level the joint until it is completely embedded and flush with the tile edge. • Completely fill the residual space between the profile and tile with grout.
COFLEX CTM metal expansion joints with removable rubber insert
profilitec > Accessories
COFLEX CTM metal expansion joints with removable rubber insert COFLEX CTM expansion joints are composed of a metal structure and a flexible yet durable central infill that can be ground and polished on-site. Due to their resistance to corrosion and wear, the profiles are ideal for resin-based terrazzo and natural stone tile layings. Ideally used in retail shops, hotels, sports facilities and schools. Suggested floor bays: 16m2.
JOINTEC GC pvc joints for concrete floors
profilitec > Accessories
JOINTEC GC pvc joints for concrete floors JOINTEC GC patented PVC joints are conceived for industrial poured concrete floors. The profiles are designed to create a 5x5m grid at the floor level, into which the concrete is poured, cured, and polished with a floor grinder. The profiles themselves act as a level line for the pour, creating state-of-the-art concrete floors with one simple process. Joints JOINTEC GC plus The drawing below shows how JOINTEC GC profiles control movement throughout the floor layout and prevent cracking of the concrete: Fast and efficient assembly with long-lasting results. How to install joints JOINTEC GC Expansion joints around the perimeter of the floor layout provide concrete with the necessary gap for differential movement. JOINTEC GC profiles coupled with the GCP and GCR synthetic inserts in soft Resilflex allow the concrete to be poured, leveled and cured in one simple step, while still accommodating its expansion and contraction. The perimeter joint eliminates the need for base boarding.
COFLEX CR: hygienic connection between floors and walls
profilitec > Accessories
COFLEX CR: hygienic connection between floors and walls The COFLEX CR patented series is designed as a cove-shaped wall-to-floor transition profile that allows elasticity and movement. A soft, internal section provides acoustic insulation, deadening the impact noise of footsteps. The profile is composed of a co-extruded synthetic resin profile and KERAJOLLY KJ profiles that interlock to perfectly match the tile thickness. In addition, they are easy to clean and designed to meet hygiene standards in public spaces subject to sanitary inspection. Clip System and different height With the modular Clip System, COFLEX CR profiles can be adapted with KERAJOLLY KJ profiles which interlock into the profile section, matching all tile thicknesses on the market. The KERAJOLLY KJ profiles act as perforated side flanges, hence adapting COFLEX CR profiles to different thicknesses, saving time in the installation process and guaranteeing impeccably durable results. Example of COFEX installation: If the tile thickness is 10mm, use the KERAJOLLY KL 8mm profile. When interlocked with the COFLEX CR profile, the total thickness is 10mm, perfectly matching the wall tile thickness.
