membrane

Large kitchen/ diner and utility room (40 sq m). Part suspended (chipboard) floor, part new concrete screed - both at same level. 450mm floor tiles to be laid throughout. Looking for an alternative to fixing plywood before laying tiles, preferably as thin as possible but with high compressive...

Hi, As title says, I bought former and tanking membrane off wetdecs a few weeks back, which adhesive is recommended to stick the membrane to floor (its the thicker one) and the membrane/joint tapes to walls etc. Is it something I can buy in wickes/BnQ? Cheers to wetdecs or anyone else who can...

Hi all :thumbsup: Having never used this product I just want to get things straight. 1. I've just been out to 2 quotes and both of them are using natural stone onto concrete screed. One has piped heating under the screed and the other hasn't. Is it best to quote membrane for both of these...

Alright guys just gone to quote a job concrete conservatory, builder says he doesn't think theres a damp proof membrane...do i need to paint on a layer of synthaprufe before tiling? if so can i use cement based adhesive directly onto synthaprufe? and is there a risk of damaging the membrane with...

Hello all, as you can see this is our first post on this site. After scouting through various posts one thing seems apparent and that is confusion surrounding how, where and to what height the Impey Tilesafe tanking membrane should be installed. To set the story straight - at Impey we...

Lets try to end the guessing and assumptions being thrown around re this miraculous product. Pecilastic is an uncoupling membrane for use under tiles over substrates susceptible to lateral tensions. A thin membrane consisting of 2 layers the upper and lower separating under tension...

You will have noticed by now that I am continually singing the praises of Durabase CI uncoupling mat and Durabase WP tanking membrane in place of Ditra and Kerdi mat. It is very difficult to promote an alternative to any product especially when trying to compete with a big name such as Schluter...

Ok let’s have a little clearing of the decks as regards Durabase CI mat and Schluter Ditra mat. Durabase CI and Ditra are membranes manufactured to lie between tiles and floor to absorb lateral movement. In simple terms if either of these membranes is installed and the floor beneath moves by...

DURABASE CI The perfect solution from www.Wetdecs.co.uk THE PROBLEMS 1. Moisture from above Tiling in itself is not waterproof: junctions to fittings and walls are particularly susceptible to water ingress which can damage the foundation. 2. Moisture from below In the...

i have no idea how long the current selection of tanking systems have been on the market. Is there any feedback yet on their effectiveness,ease of laying. I have seen the impey membrane system and used Wedi sandwich board.so very different. What are the pros and cons for these two types?

Hi, Just wondering which is the best recommended flexible adhesive for laying floor tiles onto DITRA laid over floorboards ? I just laid a small number using a ready mixed flexible from Evo-stick, and as it is cured in air( which it must do as a ready mix ) , I think its not going to cure...

There have been a few threads on the forum about using ditra or similar uncoupling membranes and which situations to use them in. As a majority of tiled floors involve the thin bed method. this means the tile is adhered directly to the substrate with an appropriate adhesive. Cracks in the...
