Is a bit like how we used to lay a visqueen sheet down before screeding and tiling.

Only for floors which are changed frequently...... Will not last long then

I my being a bit dumb, don't all shout at once, but is it a floating membrane or a uncoupling membrane? Can it be both at the same time?
And why the American commentary? That put me off from the start.....if you want to sell it here, English commentary please.
And did you hear, back buttering of tiles not required .....

Out of curiosity, has anyone here laid onto and unbonded decoupler before? I know Ardex also do the DS20 which can be bonded or unbonded, but fixing tiles on a loose mat to me really doesn't sound right???

I can see the advantage if you have a stand in a show or if you have a missus (like mine) that a tile will go down and she wants a different one 2 months later. Don't know if its just me, but I wouldn't feel happy walking on that.

 

[J Sid]

For a long term floor, why would you?

 

[Bill]

Yeah, have done loads in the 80's - also, when ditra first came out I am sure we even laid that unbonded....... it is much the same principle.

During the video - I think you will find that the commentator says that they recommend back buttering even if the industry doesn't. (USA standards might be different, as in the BS type standard.)

I will listen again Tom, but sure he said not needed but was recommended under this or that

The Bones look a lot easier to fill around than the waffles on the Schluter membrane, but seems weird that its not bonded down to the sub-floor at all....I guess it relies on the sub-floor being absolutely solid.

 

[Ajax123]

Great idea. Looks like a brilliant poroduct

 

[Lee@emctiles]

ideal for a tile showroom where displays are updated frequently.

What happens when you have to lift a tile to bed up a bit, the suction on the tile will lift the mat up and drag it everywhere. Good for a billiard table flat floor.

 

[Flintstone]

They are all billiard table flat aren't they? Or at least that's what my customers tell me on the phone before I go to look at a job

 

[Just Rizzle]

not for me . ill stick with ditra
