Reinforcing and decoupling mat to improve stability against cracking and the stiffness of critical substrates
• Material thickness of only 1.5 mm
• Loads of up to 15,500 N (measurement D = 2.25 cm)
• Adhesive tensile strength of 1.1 N/mm²
• Bending strength of 400,000 cycles at a deflection of 1.8 mm
DURABASE FGT is the latest generation of reinforcement mats, which thanks to the choice of materials and their construction, guarantee maximum strength yet at the same time are flexible enough to compensate for any stress which may occur. This makes it the safe choice for all types of floor coverings that need to be installed on substrates with insufficient load-bearing characteristics. It is suitable for large-format tiles and modern designer floor coverings, for directly glued carpeting or natural stone floor coverings.

Reinforcing and decoupling mat to improve stability against cracking and the stiffness of critical substrates
Especially in the field of renovation, you often encounter substrates which are not sufficiently stable enough for the installation of new floor coverings. Conventional renovation methods usually cannot be applied due to their installation height and are very expensive on top of that.
If a change of flooring type is then planned, e.g. tiling on wooden floors or vinyl floor covering on old and cracked tiles, the substructures need to be additionally reinforced to reduce stress due to differing thermal expansion of the materials.
