First by providing tools to the flooring contractor, the company then expanded their product line to include aluminum floor trims, carpet transitions and pre-molded control joints for ceramic tile, stone, marble and wood floors. CTC's metal flooring transitions provide design options for color, accenting, and patterns. They are used to increase impact resistance at heavy traffic areas, and protect against chipping of hard surfaces as well as fraying carpets. Our products present a tremendous advantage to flooring contractors and owners. They provide performance and durability with simple installation; our trims save time and money as well as improve the overall look of any floor. CTC products have been installed in retail centers, airports, department stores, conference centers and stadiums throughout the United States and South America. Current CTC Product Line PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: CTC Joints are prefabricated caulk joints designed for use over control and cold joints in any area subject to foot and light vehicle traffic. Surface control and expansion joints are essential for successful tile, stone, marble and terrazzo floor installations. CTC Joints are manufactured using anodize aluminum or Poly vinyl chloride (PVC) and a two-part, chemically curing self-leveling polyurethane sealant. APPLICATIONS:

STANDARD PRODUCT SPECIFICATION: Part Two – Products: Expansion and Control Joints: Provide prefabricated caulk joint consisting of two solid extruded “L” angles with factory installed two part polyurethane sealant, color to match grout joint color, specified by architect. Product Name – CTC Joint Part Three – Execution: Expansion and Control Joints: Provide prefabricated CTC Joint where shown and to comply with details, and if not shown and detail, at locations to comply with recommendations in TCA “Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation” Vertical and Horizontal Design Essentials EJ 171-08. CTC CARPET TRIMS PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: CTC Carpet Trims are anodized aluminum edge moldings installed between any hard surface flooring and carpet. CTC Carpet Trims are currently available in six designs to meet varied flooring situations. The various overhang designs protect the edges of the cut carpet from fraying and the edges of the adjoining hard surface flooring from impact damage. CTC Backwards Carpet Trim has a 3/8” reveal and a reversed leg. This allows the trim to be installed between two new flooring surfaces and also when only the carpeting is being replaced. Edge protection is provided to both the carpet and the tile. It outperforms and replaces the need for vinyl “T” molding. APPLICATIONS:
