Schluter® KERDI-FLEX 5" Movement Strip
KERDI-FLEX is Schluter's specialized expansion joint cover for tile installations — a 5-foot strip that bridges structural and expansion joints while maintaining waterproofing integrity.
Made from the same modified polyethylene as KERDI but engineered for greater flexibility, KERDI-FLEX accommodates movement at joints where the substrate shifts, expands, or contracts. The center section can be tucked into the joint cavity for even greater movement capability.
- 5 ft (1.5 m) waterproof movement strip
- Same PEVA + fleece construction as KERDI — bonds with thin-set mortar
- Bridges structural and expansion joints in tile assemblies
- Center section tucks into joint cavity for greater movement accommodation
- Maintains waterproof continuity across joints
Pro Tip: Never tile over an expansion joint without KERDI-FLEX or a proper movement joint. Tile is rigid — if the building moves and the tile can't flex, you get cracked tiles and broken grout. KERDI-FLEX absorbs the movement so your tile doesn't have to.
