Neoprene-X-Pansion Tile Strips

Latham Neoprene-X-Pansion Tile Strips are cost effective pavement movement control systems that are fast, efficient, and easy to install, leaving no mess. They provide a vandal resistant, attractive, permanent and maintenance free means of accommodating movement.

Neoprene-X-Pansion Tile Strips are manufactured under strict factory controlled conditions using high quality brass, aluminium or stainless steel plates bonded to a quality air channelled neoprene core. They are designed specially for installation in ornamental and architectural hard paving, to control the opening of floor joints during expansion and contraction. They absorb tile and paving growth and minimise edge erosion and cracking. Tile strips are delivered to the site ready for installation. They replace the previously recognised and outmoded, difficult to effect liquid poured construction and isolation joints, which were often omitted from the paving due to problems and cost in producing a satisfactory joint on site.

Tile strips should be installed in controlled floor bays at all stress points. In particular, to isolate columns, lift wells and escalators, at all direction changes, the floor perimeter, centre lines of columns, and across door openings. Other areas include changes in levels, against all restraining surfaces and on suspended floors where flexing is likely to occur, particularly over supporting walls and beams. Tile Strips are 1800mm in length and are designed to be installed over control joints or saw cuts while the tile adhesive is in a plastic state. Once the tile strip is installed the adhesive should be trowelled firmly to ensure adequate anchorage.

Before selection all usage factors must be taken into consideration including technical characteristics of the chosen paving material. However for internal applications, bay sizes in general have been 4.5 metre x 4.5 metre grids with special consideration being given to site conditions. External paving bays are reduced to 3 metres x 3 metres with the installation of 12mm wide tile strips being considered. Special Application Neoprene-X-Pansion Tile Strips are available and are custom made to suit some special conditions.

Latham 6mm Neoprene-X-Pansion Tile Strips are generally used in interior applications where the expected thermal expansion of floor finish would be considered less than an external application.

They are also suitable for external applications as well, however the bay sizes or distance between the strips will need to be reduced (see pages 4-6 for further set out and spacing details).

Latham 6mm Neoprene-X-Pansion Tile Strips with extruded 1.5mm aluminium and brass, 1mm folded brass, 1.2mm folded aluminium and 0.7mm folded stainless steel side plates are intended to be used in all hard flooring applications and are designed to be installed in conjunction with tile adhesive (see detail on pages 16 and 52).

Latham 6mm Neoprene-X-Pansion Tile Strips are supplied in standard 1800mm lengths and should be installed so as to minimise the frequency of butt joints and short lengths. Also 3-way and 4-way butt joint intersections should be avoided (see page 54 for further details).

Latham Neoprene-X-Pansion Tile Strips should be installed in all locations of stress concentration; at changes in direction; wherever localised movement is anticipated and around rigid and fixed large objects such as columns, stair and lift wells, light posts, across driveways, at access covers, across doorways and anywhere that may impede expansion and contraction of the floor finish. For further information and specification details, see page 55 of catalogue.

Latham 12mm Neoprene-X-Pansion Tile Strips are generally used in exterior applications where the thermal expansion of floor finishes is greater than internal floor applications.

They are also suitable for internal applications as well and are sometimes considered when architects and clients want to extend the bay size and increase the distance between control strips (see pages 4-6 for further set out and spacing details).
