Abstract:
A method of fitting a field limitation joint to a faced floor or wall, the joint having a Y cross-section with compressible material in the space between the divergent upper limbs of the Y, the method comprising the steps of:laying a hardenable bed on the floor or wall, setting flat facing member on the hardenable bed in an array, with a defined field limitation line at gaps between certain of the arrayed members, the gaps having a defined width, which is less than the free width of the upper limbs of the Y, inserting the field limitation joint into one of the gaps to a depth such that upper limbs of Y rest on the facing members at the gap and the joint protrudes proud of the facing members and driving the joint into the gap until its top is flush with the surface of the facing members, the lower limb of the Y penetrating the hardenable bed, the upper limbs of the Y being displaced towards each other with the compressible material between the upper limbs being compressed.
