The Cli-Mate Underfloor Heating Decoupling Membrane is a polyethylene membrane with rounded square shaped studs which form channels specially designed to embed and hold the heating cable. On the underside of the membrane there is a nonwoven thermo-welded polyethylene fabric that ensures the membrane fixing is secure to the membrane.
This new decoupling membrane offers many benefits, including 40% higher compression resistance, 45% more tensile strength and reduced curling and rollback due to its sturdy polyethylene construction.
The Cli-Mate Underfloor Heating Decoupling Membrane is a decoupling membrane of 5.5mm thickness that does not require expansion joints in the screed before laying ceramic and natural stone tiles. The decoupling membrane acts as a guard against movement in the sub floor which can cause tiles to crack. For the floor heating system to operate at its most efficient, an insulation board is recommended to be installed below the decoupling membrane.
What is a decoupling membrane used for?
There are a number of uses for a decoupling membrane, including:
- Preventing cracks and damage
Subfloors can shift over time, causing cracks in flooring. A decoupling membrane provides a barrier which absorbs these movements, preventing tension and stress from reaching and damaging the floor. - Improving durability
By reducing stress, a decoupling membrane can help make both tiled flooring and underfloor heating systems more durable, and therefore longer lasting. - Reducing noise
A decoupling membrane acts as a sound barrier, so can reduce the transmission of noise in a home. - Increasing heat distribution
By creating a more stable substrate, a decoupling membrane helps ensure even heat distribution, making underfloor heating more efficient and effective. - Improving tile adhesion
A decoupling membrane helps to create a better bond between the tiled flooring and the substrate or sub-floor, improving the adhesion of the tiles.
Substrates that are suitable: Concrete Floors, Timber Floors, Plywood Panels, Cement Screed, Anhydrite Screed & Green Screed
