Expansion profile Uponor Minitec 1.3 m 40×10 mm

Uponor Minitec expansion profile, 1.3 m length and 40×10 mm cross-section, is designed to create a controlled movement joint in floor and construction assemblies. It establishes a defined gap that accommodates thermal and mechanical expansion, protects edge finishes and tile edges, and reduces the risk of cracking in screeds and tiled surfaces. The profile is suitable for installation where a neat, durable separation between floor bays or materials is required and integrates with common floor build-ups used in residential and commercial projects.

Advantages

The profile delivers a precise and stable movement joint that limits stress transfer across adjacent floor sections. Its dimensions provide a consistent visible gap while protecting tile edges and finishes during service. The design supports straightforward installation within screed or thin-bed applications and contributes to longer service life of floor coverings by allowing differential movement without damaging finishes.

Suitable for

• Movement joints in tiled floors
• Separation of screed bays in residential and commercial buildings
• Protection of tile and edge finishes at transitions
• Installation where thermal or mechanical expansion must be accommodated

Key specifications

• Length: 1.3 m
• Cross-section: 40 × 10 mm
• Function: Expansion / movement joint profile for floors
• Suitable installation zone: floor assemblies, screed and tiled surfaces
• Material characteristics: rigid profile designed to create and protect a defined joint

How to use

Position the profile at the planned joint location before pouring or applying the floor screed or adhesive bed. Ensure the substrate is clean and level so the profile sits flush with the finished floor level. Fix the profile in place according to standard installation practice for expansion profiles, embedding the lower portion in the screed or adhesive while leaving the specified gap exposed for movement. After the floor covering is completed, check alignment and joint continuity and make any necessary adjustments to tile grout or edge finishes to maintain a clear movement gap.

Usage recommendations

Use this expansion profile where a defined movement gap of the specified dimensions is required; select profile length and cross-section to match the project’s joint design and tile thickness. Store profiles flat and dry prior to installation and follow applicable local standards for expansion joint spacing and installation in floors to ensure long-term performance.
