This is why Fracture Guard is required when concrete is cut for trenches. Concrete moves over time due to changes of moisture and different volumes of cement mixes poured by hand or pumped by truck. New slabs butting up to older concrete slabs also need Fracture Guard. Fracture Guard is a membrane to inhibit the transfer of cracks from the substrate to the finished tile. TCNA (Tile Council of North America), who set the industry guidelines, require Fracture Guard at all control joints. Following industry guidelines is necessary for successful installations and warranties. Generally, the decision to not follow the guidelines is due to a General Contractor not having budgets in place. By following TCNA guidelines, G2 Surfaces, Inc. ensures the end user our No Crack Tile Warranty is intact.
