Product Overview
Perimeter Strip with an 10mm thickness, 150mm width and 50m length is a flexible edging material designed to accommodate floor movement and protect screed or acoustic floor systems.
Manufactured from resilient foam, it forms a compliant buffer between the screed and surrounding walls or structural elements. The strip absorbs expansion forces generated during curing and thermal cycling, reducing the likelihood of cracking or perimeter stress. Its lightweight structure ensures clean, accurate placement along room perimeters and around service penetrations.
By maintaining a defined separation between hard surfaces, it assists in limiting sound transmission and preventing rigid contact points in floating floor systems.
The strip supports consistent floor performance by enabling controlled expansion while maintaining neat, continuous boundary detailing.
Suitable for residential and commercial flooring installations, it integrates effectively with most screed types and floating acoustic assemblies.
Features & Benefits
- Expansion allowance: Accommodates screed movement during curing and temperature changes to reduce cracking along room perimeters.
- Acoustic isolation: Creates a compliant buffer to minimise rigid contact points that can transmit structure-borne sound.
- Flexible foam structure: Conforms easily to wall lines and corners for continuous, uniform edging.
- Ease of handling: Lightweight design enables quick installation around perimeters and service penetrations.
- Neat boundary formation: Helps maintain clean detailing between screed surfaces and adjacent walls or fixtures.
- Defined thickness, width and length: The 10mm thickness, 150mm width and 50m length deliver reliable fit and efficient perimeter coverage.
Applications
- Screed perimeters: Provides compliant edging to accommodate floor expansion and prevent perimeter cracking.
- Floating floor systems: Offers acoustic separation between the screed layer and surrounding walls.
- Partition interfaces: Supports movement isolation around partition bases and door thresholds.
Installation Guidance
- Surface preparation: Ensure wall surfaces and floor edges are clean and free of debris before fixing the strip.
- Strip alignment: Roll out the strip around the room perimeter, maintaining continuous vertical contact with the wall surface.
- Fixing application: Secure the strip with suitable adhesive or mechanical fixing where required to prevent displacement.
- Corner detailing: Press firmly into corners and recesses to maintain uninterrupted movement allowance.
- Trim after screed: Once screed is cured, remove or trim any excess strip above the finished floor level.
Compliance & Performance
- Material specification: Manufactured from resilient foam to support long-term flexibility and perimeter compliance.
- Movement control: Designed to absorb screed expansion forces and maintain separation from rigid structural elements.
- Acoustic behaviour: Provides a compliant boundary layer that limits structure-borne sound transfer.
- Important note: Always install according to flooring manufacturer guidance to maintain declared expansion and acoustic performance.
