ARDEX UI 740™ F L E X B O N E ® U n c o u p l i n g Membrane is a high-load-bearing sys- tem that is ideal for large-format tile in high-traffic areas for maximum instal- lation protection. ARDEX FLEXBONE Uncoupling Membranes feature a unique bone-shaped design with GripLock Technology for the highest level of mortar-to-membrane bond strength with ARDEX polymer-modi- fied mortars. Both membranes pro- vide an increased level of flexibility and deformability for maximum shear strength, and the bone-shaped cavities fill very easily in just one pass. www. ardexamericas.com Custom® Building Products has launched RedGard® Uncoupling Mat, an environmentally-friendly crack-isolation, waterproof- ing and vapor-management membrane for tile, porcelain and natural stone installa- tions over most substrates including oriented strand board (OSB), plywood and concrete. Formerly called SpiderWeb II, it’s lightweight anddesignedforinstallations using polymer-modified thin set mortars. The heat-weld- ed fleece on top and bottom locks mortar onto the mat at every point of contact for a strong mechanical bond. No mechanical fasteners are required. The mat contributes to green build- ing standards with more than 70% recycled pre-consumer materials by weight and no volatile organic com- pounds (VOCs). Tile installations com- pleted with RedGard Uncoupling Mat can be waterproofed and protected from moisture by using RedGard Seam Tape on seams, transitions and corners. A 30 meter roll replaces up to 21 sheets of 1/2” backer board. The mat carries up to a lifetime sys- tem warranty, when used as part of a qualifying system of eligible tile instal- lation products. www.custombuilding- products.com/products/surface-prep- aration/waterproofing-membranes- underlayments/redgard%C2%AE- uncoupling-mat.aspx or http://tinyurl. com/hauhg5k LATICRETE has introduced light- weight STRATA_MAT™ XT, a next- generation, high-performance uncoupling membrane designed specifically for ceramic tile and dimen- sion stone installations. STRATA_MAT XT pro- vides vapor manage- ment, eliminates trans- mission of in-plane sub- strate cracks of up to 1/8” (3 mm), assists with easier floor layout as chalk lines are easily visible on the surface prior to tile installa- tion and performs all these functions, while still providing the requisite sup- port and load distribution for tile and stone covering. At 5/16” (7.9 mm) thick STRATA_MAT XT helps to creates an even transition between typical 1/4” to 3/8” (3 to 9 mm) thick tile and 3/4” (19 mm) thick hardwood floor- ing. The design also allows installers to see mortar coverage underneath the mat during installation without having to lift and verify. STRATA_MAT XT comes in 150 ft. rolls measuring 45” x 40’ feet (13.9m2 - 1. m x 12.2m) and measures 5/16” (7.9 mm) thick. www.laticrete.com LEVELING PRODUCTS TEC® Feather Edge Skim Coat is a high-quality, feather- smooth surface prep solution. This cement- based compound is designed to skim coat, smooth and level irreg- ularities from feather- edgeupto1/2”(12mm). It sets exceptionally fast (15-20 minutes for most flooring) and can be used in conjunction with near- ly all floor coverings. For most appli- cations, the use of a primer is not required due to TEC Feather Edge’s superior bond strength. It is excellent for use over most substrates and pro- vides a suitable surface for even the most demanding floor coverings such as VCT, sheet vinyl, etc. TEC Feather Edge Skim Coat is a low-VOC prod- uct that contributes to LEED project points. www.tecspecialty.com USG Durock™ Brand Advanced Skim Coat™ Floor Patch is a trowelable, calcium-aluminate cement floor patch and skim coat with an innovative formula- tion that offers a sig- nificant yield advan- tage. It is ideal over concrete, gypsum, metal and wood subfloors and most interior floors, including tile. This product allows for easy mixing and a smooth finish over various substrates – there is no need for priming or a latex additive for most applications. Since the product is fast setting, floor coverings may be installed in as little as 15 minutes. www.usg.com VanHearron Inc. manufactures Prep and Profile, a heavy-duty concrete Substrates
