What is Composite Joint?
A composite joint is a type of material used in the construction and building industry. It is used to fill gaps between coverings such as tiles, ceramics, and natural stones. Composite joint is generally a high-performance joint filler material made by mixing two or more materials. It contains polymer-based resins, hardeners, and fillers.
Composite joints are frequently used in areas such as bathrooms, kitchen countertops, pool edges, terraces, and balconies.
Offering both aesthetics and functionality, composite joint provides many advantages such as waterproofing, flexibility, color durability, and easy cleaning. Compared to traditional cement-based joint fillers, composite joint is highly advantageous because it is very resistant to water, making it ideal for use on wet surfaces. Since its application requires technical knowledge, you can contact our professional company, Fiber Metal, during the application process.
How is Composite Joint Made?
Composite joint is generally preferred for outdoor applications. When applying composite joint, which is a durable material used to bond concrete or natural stone surfaces, there are certain considerations to keep in mind.
First, the surfaces to be joined should be cleaned and prepared to be smooth, removing dust, dirt, or grease. The width and depth of the composite joint should be determined. When calculating this, it should be considered that the joint will be embedded a few millimeters below the surface. The composite joint filler material should be prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The prepared composite joint should then be applied to the joints of the specified width. After application, the material should be evenly spread using a spatula or similar tool, the surface should be smoothed, and shaped. Any excess or adhering material on the surface should be thoroughly cleaned. Finally, after all these processes, the joint material should be left to cure and harden for the specified time.
Composite Joint Prices
Composite joint prices vary depending on several factors. Factors such as material quality, joint size, and joint quantity affect the prices of composite joints. Installation and labor costs, as well as market conditions, also influence composite joint prices. The complexity of the project and labor costs can also cause price fluctuations.

Composite Joint Opening
Due to both durability and aesthetic features, composite joint materials are indispensable for modern construction projects and are processed using various composite joint opening methods. Composite joint opening creates the necessary gaps at the junctions of materials. Composite joint opening plays a critical role in the proper expansion and contraction of materials. Effective in maintaining structural durability and preventing water and moisture from penetrating materials, composite joint opening processes are carried out by our company, Fiber Metal.
