Floortec is an installation membrane for ceramic or stone tile based on uncoupling technology. It is placed between the tile and the substrate. Tile and membrane are bonded using appropriate mortar-based adhesives.
FLOORTEC ADVANTAGES
FLOORTEC installation advantages: - PREVENTS CRACKS The FLOORTEC membrane neutralizes inevitable stress build-up due to differential movement in the substrate, changes in temperature and humidity. Cracks remain beneath the matting and prevent damage to the tile surface. - VAPOR MANAGEMENT FLOORTEC’s cylindrical grid structure, concave on the underside, allows the evaporation of water from the substrate, compensating and releasing vapor tension. - ENABLES THE INSTALLATION ON DIFFERENT SUBSTRATES Using FLOORTEC allows tile flooring to be installed onto different types of substrates, including concrete and anhydride slabs, radiant heating, drywall and even wood. In some particular cases, the compatibility of the adhesive used between the substrate and the FLOORTEC membrane must be verified.
FLOORTEC membrane in virgin polyethylene (PE HD)
High density polyethylene membrane, coupled with TNT (non-woven fabric) on the lower side. Thickness 1/8" - 3 mm on which circular shaped cones are designed which favor the gluing of the tile allowing the glue to adhere better to the membrane. Ideal for laying ceramic floors.
