Permat Uncoupling Tile Flooring Underlayment

Description

The Blanke PERMAT is an innovative uncoupling tile underlayment that offers all the labor saving benefits of the old plastic tile underlayment roll systems. The Blanke PERMAT also adds support to wood substrates thereby reducing deflection and provides greater compression and tensile strength than plastic tile underlayment roll products. The Blanke PERMAT is stable to walk on during installation and does not require additional curing time when installing porcelain with latex modified thinset.

Properties:

Strengthens wood substrates
Reduces vertical subfloor movement (deflection)
Superior compressive strength

Crack isolation properties (uncoupling)
Superior resistance to delamination during installation
No extended cure time for latex modified thinset mortars under porcelain tile
Lightweight; easy to install
Self-seaming panels prevent substrate movement stress from transmitting to tiled surface
1/8" thick
Permanent Support of high quality floorings - ex: stone, marble
Assures HIGHEST protection for your construction project
