Joint cut

Joint cut refers to artificially created joints in the plaster in order to optically separate areas from one another or to create a decorative line structure on a facade .
Occasionally, the joint cut is used to create the impression of monumental masonry , for example in the representative Renaissance palaces in Florence .
The joint cut should not be confused with the trowel cut , which is made in the plaster and in the screed in order to create a predetermined breaking point that prevents later irregular cracking.
Joint cuts are also made to allow the joint cut drying.
Joint cuts in floor and wall coverings
When laying composite floor and wall coverings ( tiles , terracotta , natural stone slabs , carpet tiles ), the joint cut is the type of laying with continuous joints, as opposed to laying "in association", i.e. laying with staggered joints.
Sometimes joint cuts in this context also mean that the vertical joints of the wall tiles are continued in the floor tiles.
