{"product_id":"decoupling-anti-crack-membrane","title":"Decoupling \/ Anti-Crack Membrane","description":"\u003cp\u003eUncoupling\/decoupling membrane is installed between tiles and the substrate to prevent movement or cracks from transferring to the tiled surface. It also provides a 100% waterproof barrier. The membrane is 1mm thick and should be laid with the fleece side facing down for optimal bonding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood or concrete floors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet rooms and commercial areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderfloor heating systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic, porcelain, stone, or mosaic tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy use a waterproof decoupling membrane?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding materials expand and contract with temperature changes. Different materials move at different rates, which can create stress and cracks in tiled surfaces. This can lead to cracked tiles, damaged grout joints, or tiles lifting from the substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe decoupling membrane absorbs this movement. As the floor shifts, the fleece layer separates movement from the tiles above, reducing the risk of cracking and de-bonding while maintaining a waterproof barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTypical applications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for bathrooms, wet rooms, and commercial environments such as gyms and shower areas.
