Loc Strips – 6mm Control Section

Latham Neoprene-X-Pansion Loc Strips with a 6 mm neoprene control section create flexible control joints for all hard flooring systems and are ideal for use with wet-bedded installations. The strips absorb movement to reduce the risk of cracking or debonding in tile, stone, or screed finishes.

Standard sideplates are supplied in brass or zinc at 1 mm thickness and in type 304 stainless steel at 0.7 mm thickness. Stainless steel variants are not recommended where the finish will be ground in situ. For projects that demand heavier-duty protection you can select optional 3 mm thick sideplates in brass (specify code LSB3MM) or zinc/aluminium (specify code LSZ3MM).

Each Loc Strip is manufactured in 1800 mm lengths so the installer can lay long, continuous runs and reduce the number of butt joints. To preserve joint integrity avoid short offcuts as well as three-way or four-way intersections.

For maximum anchorage and movement control pair the Loc Strips with the optional GW50 or SSW50 wire anchors supplied by Latham.

Description

Standard neoprene infill colour is black. Grey and buff colours are available on request.

Latham Loc Strips should be placed wherever stress might concentrate in a tiled floor. Install them at changes in layout or direction, in areas where localised movement is expected, and around rigid elements such as columns, stair or lift shafts, light poles, doorways, garden beds, manhole covers and embedded pipework. In short, add a Loc Strip anywhere that could block the natural expansion and contraction of the flooring to help prevent cracking and lifting.
