This crack-sup- pression, waterproofing and vapor- pressure-equalizing underlayment membrane has been approved for use with latex- modified mortars as part of a warranted system for installa- tion of ceramic tile and natural stone. Mapeguard UM equalizes vapor pres- sure, so it can be applied over young concrete in fast- track construction or concrete with high relative humidity. The lightweight membrane can also be applied over single-layer plywood floors. The uniquely engineered tri-lay- ered design of Mapeguard UM absorbs lateral stress from the sub- strate without transferring this force to the tile or stone, which main- tains exceptional bonds. The engineered cavity design – including the mesh-fabric top layer – allows easy single-pass filling of the surface core with less mortar, reducing the amount of mortar needed and making the installer’s job easier. www.mapei.com Abound, by American Olean, is one of the six new introductions debuted this year. 106 TileLetter | April 2017
