loading. This differential expansion/contraction of components in a composite assembly results in
internal stresses. Furthermore, structures that restrain overall expansion of the tile field (walls,
columns, etc.) cause stress buildup within the system. If the aforementioned movements are not
accommodated through the use of movement joints in the tile field and at restraining structures,
the resulting stresses can cause cracking of the grout and tile and delamination of the tile from
the substrate. Thus, movement joints are an essential component of any durable tile assembly.
Schluter
