The Trim-Tex Exterior Solutions M Control Joint is a popular “M” style control joint designed to manage movement in plaster and stucco on large wall surfaces. Specifically, its narrow center groove creates a clean, subtle reveal while helping relieve stress caused by temperature changes and natural wall expansion or contraction. As a result, the joint allows controlled movement, helping prevent cracking and keeping stucco finishes looking clean and professional. In addition, the removable tape protects the groove during installation, ensuring the “V” remains clean and sharp for a professional final appearance.
Trim-tex recommends following industry-standard installation methods. All butt joints, intersections, and ends should be caulked with elastomeric sealant during installation. When painting Trim-tex products, please contact us for more information on painting resources to ensure proper performance and prevent product defects such as warping, oil cracking, and buckling.
