Novojunta® 1
1. Spread a big amount of mortar or similar on the surface to be tiled
2. Then, do the tiling until the place to install the Novojunta® 1
3. Install the prole longitudinally aligning it with the edge of the tiles anf xing it well to the mortar
4. Continue with the tiling work to complete the installation. Before the curing, tap softly with a rubber
hammer to align the prole with the surface of the oor.
5. Finally clean the leftover material and let dry

Novojunta® 1 is a prole made by coextrusion of PVC-P (rigid PVC) and PVC-U (exible PVC). PVC-U
allow the prole to absorb expansion and contraction movements from oor and wall tiling where is
installed and PVC-P is suitable, due to its rigidity, to the support of the tile.
El PVC (polyvinyl chloride), is a polar amorphous thermoplastic polymer highly resistant to abrasion,
corrosion and a wide range of chemical products. Has a good resistance to impact, low water absorption,
low electrical conductivity and is dimensionally stable.

Tips of installation
If you want to polish the oor, check the next page to learn more about how to do the installation.
According to our experiencie and our collaboration with specialized companies, we recommend the
following:
- Outdoors: it is recommendable to close areas between 107,6-269 ft
2
(10-25 m
2
) maximum and a
distance between expansion joints not exceeding 16,4 ft (5 l.m.)
- Indoors: it is recommendable to close area up to 430,4 ft
2
(40 m
2
) max. with a distance between
expansion joints not exceeding 26,2 ft (8 l.m.). If the ooring is dark and is under direct insolation, it will
be recommendable to apply the same tips than in outdoor oorings.
You will also need to take into account about the critical points of the installation:
- Take into account the structural joints.
- Install expansion joints:
- Between different materials (orientation, color, etc.)
- In different kinds of supports.
- In joints with constructive elements, narrowing or height changes.
- In perimeters when areas are bigger than 75,3 ft
