The floor membrane provides the added benefit of a de-coupling fleece layer, which acts as a separation layer, to allow movement. Tiles can be installed onto the matting immediately as there is no waiting or drying time.

HOMELUX WATERPROOF MATTING

Waterproofing & sealing against water and moisture is perhaps the most critical element of any wet area installation and with new Homelux Waterproof Matting, you can shower with the complete confidence that your installation is absolutely watertight with a 100% guaranteed seal.

The Problem

Most of us have had some experience of the damage that can be caused when tiled bathrooms & wet areas are not sealed properly against intrusive water & moisture. Unsightly damp patches constantly re-appear on the ceiling in the room below your bathroom, not to mention the unseen damage that leaks can cause to timber frames, building joists and plasterboards etc.

Why the problem exists

Contrary to popular belief, thin set unglazed tiles are permeable and moisture will migrate through these areas and can be absorbed into the substrates behind. While water resistant grouts offer some protection, these areas still remain permeable and over time increasing levels of moisture will penetrate these joints.

Other influences, which will have an effect on the integrity of your sealing joints, will be the normal subsidence which occurs in buildings. The drying and cracking of mastics or silicones used to seal joints and the expansion and contraction of wooden or concrete floors, may cause the tiles to delaminate or move from their original position. So regardless of whether you have used traditional waterproof tile adhesives or sealants, you will not necessarily have a watertight seal around your bath or shower tray.

Why is waterproof matting the solution?

Waterproofing & sealing against water and moisture is critical in order to protect any construction or building against intruding water and related damages. Damages from such leaks can create high & escalating repair costs.
