Diaplas Perimeter Profile is a movement joint designed for use in tile installations where separation from adjacent fixed structural elements is required. It features a durable aluminum anchoring leg that provides secure mechanical attachment to the substrate, ensuring long-term performance and stability. Integrated into the profile is a 3/8" (10 mm) -wide, replaceable elastomeric rubber inlay that forms the movement zone. This flexible component accommodates thermal expansion, contraction, and minor substrate movement while effectively decoupling the tile covering from rigid construction elements such as walls, columns, or partitions. The replaceable movement zone not only extends the lifespan of the profile but also facilitates maintenance and aesthetic consistency over time.
Diaplas Perimeter Profile is sized to accommodate tiles of either 3/8" (10 mm) or 1/2" (12.5 mm) thickness, and contributes to the integrity of the overall tile assembly by reducing the risk of cracking, delamination and stress-related failures in areas subject to dynamic movement or differential settlement.
These features make Diaplas Perimeter Profile an ideal solution for perimeter applications, offering reliable movement accommodation, long-term durability, and a clean, maintenance-friendly finish, perfect for both horizontal and vertical applications in residential and commercial tile installations.
Diaplas profiles and trims are compatible with MAPEI Floor Covering Installation Systems and Tile & Stone Installation Systems products, ensuring a reliable and durable installation. However, it's essential to refer to the specific product’s Technical Data Sheet (TDS), found on www.mapei.com, for comprehensive installation instructions and suitable substrates. By following the manufacturer's guidelines, you can ensure optimal performance and longevity of the installation.
