Edging and jointing should be performed when?

Edging and jointing should be performed when?

• A. On All Floors
• B. Only When Specified
• C. Never
• D. During Finishing

Answer: (B)

Edging and jointing are finishing steps that are not automatic on every floor; they are done only when the project documents require them. The specification will tell you if an edge treatment (edging) and/or contraction joints are needed, including any required dimensions or placement. Performing these tasks adds time, cost, and can alter the surface finish, so they should be carried out only when the contract or engineer’s specs call for them. If the specs specify edging and jointing, follow those instructions precisely; if not, skip these steps to avoid unnecessary work.
