The ABK tile mounts are used as joint spaces for the optimum laying of natural stone, cement and suitable fine stoneware tiles in gravel or drainage mortar beds.
The Type Xa / Ta offers simplified laying with the ¼ contact surface. This allows the joint cross to be attached to previously laid tiles on the edge without neighbouring tiles needing to be lifted. With predefined break points, the ABK Type Xa / Ta can be shaped into the suitable centre, corner or edge pieces. By simply snapping off the relevant leaf, the required shape can be created. The special features is that the leaves can be snapped off with a quick sudden click. If the breaking is done slowly the leaves can no longer be snapped. Slow breaking simulates the behaviour of tile movements when laid. The allows the ABK Xa / Ta to provide a certain resistance to tile movements. The ABK tile mounts remain fixed under the tile layer. Working upwards due to weeds or scouring cannot take place.
