ARDEX UH 900 FLEXBONE Uncoupling Waterproofing 1/4″ Heat Membrane 134.5 SF Roll

ARDEX FLEXBONE HEAT is the ideal membrane underlayment for installing in-floor heating cables. It provides uncoupling and waterproofing capabilities, including crack suppression, load distribution, and vapor management. It also features minimal roll memory – if unrolled, it will lay flat (doesn’t curl). ARDEX’s dependable German engineering promises efficiency, durability, ease of use, and high performance for any home improvement project. The crossbone stud pattern on the heat membrane was designed for the fast and easy installation of an electrical heating cable, providing additional benefits. The pattern allows for one-pass thinset mortar adhesive to cover the heat cables entirely, speeding up heated floor installation. It creates fewer touchpoints between the heating wire and membrane, improving uniform heat distribution and eliminating cold spots. It leaves less air space within the mat structure for faster and more efficient heating of the floor surface above. The extra large uncoupling width offers a seamless transition with hardwood and other raised flooring. It makes this membrane great for living areas that require infloor heating, such as – closed balconies, food courts, lobbies, hallways, foyers, living and dining rooms, basements, and garages. It is a durable crack-isolating and uncoupling membrane, protecting your floor tiles (tile coverings) and other surfaces by preventing potential damage and reducing grout stress from the substrate below. Works with various surfaces – linoleum tiles, vinyl flooring, ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, cement tiles, marble tiles, natural stone tiles, granite, concrete blocks, and carpet tiles. It’s a robust waterproofing membrane that makes it usable in your shower, bathroom, hot tub and bathtub surround, kitchen, laundry room, and other wet areas where potential water leakage is a concern—a perfect solution for any DIY or professional projects. Ideal for large format tile and thin porcelain tile installations.About the Product: the underfloor heating system is a highly efficient and eco-friendly way to warm your floors and can be used as a primary or secondary heat source.

DITRA-HEAT-TB Insulation Membrane Roll 108 sqft, 3’3″ x 33′

Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT-TB is the only electric floor warming system with an integrated thermal break, and is ideal for tiled floors over concrete. The thermal break directs heat up into the tile rather than down into the subfloor, resulting in tiled floors that warm up to 70% faster over concrete substrates.

Schluter DITRA UNCOUPLING MEMBRANE Underlayment 150 sqft

Schluter®-DITRA is a polyethylene membrane with a grid structure of square cavities, each cut back in a dovetail configuration, and an anchoring fleece laminated to the underside. The anchoring fleece is embedded in thin-set mortar to provide a mechanical bond to the substrate. Tile is installed over DITRA using the thin-bed method in such a way that the mortar becomes mechanically anchored in the square, cutback cavities of the matting. Designed specifically for ceramic tile and dimension stone installations, DITRA serves as an uncoupling layer, waterproofing membrane, and vapor management layer that accommodates moisture from beneath the tile covering. Further, DITRA performs all these functions while still providing adequate support/load distribution for the tile covering. The combination of these four essential functions allows for the successful installation of tile over a wide range of substrates, including plywood/ OSB, concrete, gypsum, heated floors, etc. DITRA is 1/8″ (3 mm) thick, which minimizes tile assembly thickness and reduces transitions to lower surface coverings (e.g., carpet, engineered wood, and vinyl). DITRA allows for ceramic tile application over single-layer plywood or OSB subfloors on joists spaced up to 19.2″ (488 mm) o.c.UncouplingTile has been successfully installed for thousands of years by incorporating an uncoupling layer, or forgiving shear interface, within the tile assembly. DITRA provides uncoupling through its open rib structure, which allows for in-plane movement that effectively neutralizes the differential movement stresses between the substrate and the tile, thus eliminating the major cause of cracking and delaminating of the tiled surface.DITRA provides reliable waterproofing in interior applications. Its polyethylene composition protects the substrate from moisture penetration, which is particularly important in today’s building environment where most substrates are moisture-sensitive.Vapor management The distinguishing feature of DITRA is the existence of free space created by the configured channels on the underside of the matting. The free space provides a route for excess moisture and vapor to escape from the substrate that could otherwise cause damage to the tile layer above. Thus, DITRA effectively manages moisture beneath the tile covering.Support/load distribution When placed on a solid foundation, columns or pillars can support tremendous loads. The same physical principle applies to DITRA installations. Column-like mortar structures are formed in the cutback cavities of the matting. Loads are transferred from the tile covering through these column-like mortar structures to the substrate. Since the matting is virtually incompressible within the tile assembly, the advantages of uncoupling are achieved without sacrificing point load distribution capabilities. The ability of DITRA installations to support and distribute heavy loads while preserving the integrity of the tiled surface has been verified through extensive laboratory and field testing, including applications exposed to vehicular traffic.
