Movement Accommodation Control Joints – Notes/Letter

NOTES TO THE TILE CONTRACTOR

Date

General Contractor Address City, State Zip

Example letter should be modified to accommodate your specific circumstances. For example, there may be some control provided which you may wish to acknowledge.

Re: Project

Contact:

Please note that expansion/movement/control joints have not been provided in the tile installation.

I have enclosed copies of the Tile Council of North America’s (TCNA) Handbook for Ceramic, Glass, and Stone Tile Installations, which addresses expansion joints.

Please ask the responsible party to review the structural and tile installation speci fications for the required provisions.

Once you have the control joint requirements specified and detailed, I will submit a price for their inclusion.

Sincerely,

Name and Title Company
