Looking to buy in bulk? With our bulk buy of Decoupling Membrane 5m² rolls, you can purchase 12 rolls at a discounted price per meter. Each 5-meter roll features a sturdy polyethylene membrane with rounded, square-shaped studs. These studs, in turn, form channels that securely hold your heating cables. Furthermore, a nonwoven, thermo-welded polyethylene fabric on the underside ensures the membrane’s secure fastening.
Enhanced Features and Performance
This new decoupling membrane offers significant improvements over previous versions. Specifically, its robust polyethylene construction gives it 40% higher compression resistance and 45% more tensile strength. As a result, this design dramatically reduces curling and rollback during installation.
In addition, the 5.5mm-thick membrane acts as a crucial guard against subfloor movement, which can often cause tiles to crack. Therefore, you do not need to install expansion joints in the screed before you lay ceramic and natural stone tiles.
For optimal performance, we recommend installing an insulation board below the decoupling membrane, since this allows your floor heating system to operate with maximum efficiency.
What a Decoupling Membrane Does for You
A decoupling membrane serves several important purposes that protect your flooring and improve your heating system.
Prevents Cracks and Damage: Your subfloor can shift over time, and consequently, this often leads to cracks in your flooring. A decoupling membrane provides a protective barrier that absorbs these movements, thereby preventing tension and stress from damaging your floor.
Improves Durability: By reducing stress on the floor, a decoupling membrane helps make both your tiled flooring and your underfloor heating system more durable and longer-lasting.
Reduces Noise: Acting as a sound barrier, the membrane can effectively reduce the transmission of noise in your home.
Increases Heat Distribution: When you create a more stable substrate, the decoupling membrane helps ensure even heat distribution. Ultimately, this makes your underfloor heating more efficient and effective.
Improves Tile Adhesion: Finally, a decoupling membrane creates a stronger bond between the tiled flooring and the substrate, which improves the adhesion of your tiles.
Suitable Substrates
This membrane is suitable for use with a variety of substrates, including:
- Concrete floors
- Timber floors
- Plywood panels
- Cement screed
- Anhydrite screed
- Green screed
Also, we offer a 15-meter roll.
