Aesthetically, divider strips are often the skeleton to the terrazzo floor’s design, offering architects and interior designers the ability to create custom designs and patterns. Divider Strips may simply serve as a transition between colors or they may be bent on the job site or water-jet cut at the factory to form intricate designs, logo artwork and lettering. The thickness and metal of the divider strip may also be varied to compliment the flooring’s design. The divider strip can be as apparent or discrete as your design requires.

FunctionThe primary function divider strips offer is to control cracking in your terrazzo flooring topping. Typically divider strips are placed in areas where an architect or engineer believes the floor may crack. Instead of cracking in the panel or design of the flooring, the topping will crack along the divider strip joint. Some common areas where divider strips are found or are required include the following:

Control Joint Strips“L” type strip is positioned adjacent to the joint.

Expansion Joint Strips (Isolation Joint)Two separate “L” type strips are positioned back-to-back with a minimum of 1/8” width between.

Termination Joint Strips“L” type strip is position adjacent to dissimilar flooring or at door thresholds.
