ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Steve Taylor is Director of Architecture and Technical Marketing
for Custom Building Products and has more than 30 years of
experience developing products for the construction industry.
Steve is a member of the Tile Council of North America (TCNA),
helping to determine proper tile installation methods and
standards, including the simplification of tile installation processes,
which enables tile professionals to save time and money.
The tile installation is not complete until soft movement joints are
properly installed. Consider the fact that there is movement
in every floor and wall assembly; this movement can be from
the curing of cement/concrete surfaces, thermal changes, or
even settling of the structure. Placement of movement joints is
described in ANSI and the TCNA Handbook. To eliminate cracks
in the tile assembly, these guidelines should be followed. Soft
joints should also be installed wherever there is a change of
plane or the independent movement of two surfaces is possible.
Custom Building Products’ Commercial 100% Silicone Caulk
meets these needs and has a Shore hardness greater than 35,
making it suitable for high traffic areas.
