- It is presented as designed to absorb substrate movements, fend off stress transmissions, and mitigate tile issues stemming from movement and stress.
- It is characterized as moisture proof with a cavity design that provides more space for steam near the subfloor to help keep the floor and room dry.
- It is labeled as having a waterproof surface that can keep the subfloor from lots of water on the tile, especially in bathroom and steam room use.
- It is specified as having a special grid structure and anchoring cotton intended to ensure a strong bond with modified thin set mortars and tiles.
What the product is designed to do
It is described for use on ceramic and stone tile placements as a decoupling membrane liner that acts as a protective barrier between tile and substrate. It is intended for use on areas described as vulnerable, including plaster, drywall, or wood, where movement and stress can affect tile. This product is presented as allowing the bottom layer to attach to the subfloor and the top layer to adhere to the tile so the two layers can uncouple when force is applied from below. This product is marketed as suitable for kitchens, basements, bathrooms, and showers, and it is also described for use on a concrete shower wall, a stone bathroom floor, or as a ceramic tile underlayment.
