Application and Function

Surface joints must be placed within the tiled surface regardless of substrate conditions.  They provide stress relief from movements in the tile field due to thermal and moisture expansion/contraction and loading.

Schluter-DILEX-EZ 6 + 9 are prefabricated, maintenance-free surface movement joint profiles suitable for residential to medium-duty commercial aplications.

The profiles feature rigid PVC side walls, which are connected on top and bottom by soft PVC movement zones that form the visible surfaces.  These profiles separate individual fields in the tile covering and accommodate movement through the soft PVC movement zones.

Each profile features two usable surfaces in different colors for increased design options. One surface of the profile features the PVC movement zone in a solid color, while the other surface features a brass, chrome, or luminescent inlay embedded in the PVC movement zone. The luminescent inlay glows for up to 10 hours after exposure to light, increasing the profile's visibility in the dark and at dusk.

Schluter-DILEX-EZ 6 and 9 are flexible and can be used to form curves.  The height, "H", of Schluter-DILEX-EZ 6 is 1/4" (6 mm); the height, "H", of Schluter-DILEX-EZ 9 is 11/32" (9 mm).
