What are the best thermal expansion joints for large composite ottomans?
When selecting thermal expansion joints for large composite ottomans, it’s crucial to prioritize materials that accommodate temperature-induced movement while maintaining structural integrity. The best options include flexible silicone-based joints, rubber expansion strips, and modular composite joints, which offer durability and adaptability. Silicone joints excel in high-temperature environments, while rubber strips provide excellent shock absorption. For seamless aesthetics, consider color-matched composite joints that blend with the ottoman’s design. Proper installation spacing (typically 1/4 inch per 10 feet) ensures optimal performance. Always consult manufacturer guidelines to match joint specifications with your ottoman’s material and size for long-lasting results.
