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 prole 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 prole with the surface of the oor.
5. Finally clean the leftover material and let dry

Novojunta® 1 is a prole made by coextrusion of PVC-P (rigid PVC) and PVC-U (exible PVC). PVC-U
allow the prole 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
