This reinforced high- strength membrane performs as an anti- fracture and an acoustical underlay- ment system that eliminates the trans- mission of stresses from the substrate while dampening the transmission of impact and airborne noise through the floor to the room below. The unique design of this peel-and-stick membrane allows for usage in both commercial and residential settings where a quick dependable turnaround is required. LATICRETE FRACTURE BAN pro- vides a water-resistive barrier and can be placed under several substrates including – but not limited to – con- crete slabs, cement mortar beds, and interior ceramic tile and terrazzo floors. LATICRETE FRACTURE BAN can be used for retail, malls, offices, hospitals, and apartment and condo buildings and is part of the LATICRETE® system warranty. www.laticrete.com ASK THE EXPERTS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Another issue is that the metal trim on the tile is proud, and acts a dam for water on sloped curbs instead of letting it drain. 24 TileLetter | February 2017
