in-plane substrate movement. RedGard liquid is a ready-to-use, elastomeric membrane that creates a continuous waterproof barrier behind tile in addition to reduc- ing transmission of cracks up to 1/8”. Structural slabs were treated with RedGard in compliance with TCNA F125 and ANSI A118.12. RedGard was also extensively applied on walls and floors to waterproof all showers and other wet tile assemblies in the facility. This versatile membrane exceeds the requirements of ANSI A118.10, is listed with IAPMO as a shower pan liner and delivers outstanding adhesion to drain assemblies for monolithic protection. “It was very important to us to have RedGard specified for both crack isolation and waterproofing on this job,” offered Henkelman. RedGard is the first liquid- applied membrane to exceed industry standards as a low-perm moisture vapor barrier for continu- ous-use steam showers. Treatment with RedGard ensures the high- est level of impermeability in the Oilers’ steam room. To ensure the team’s steam room looks great for years to come and to guard against movement from thermal cycling, specifi- ers selected MegaLite® Ultimate Crack Prevention Large Format Tile Mortar. MegaLite was perfect for these very demanding require- ments, as well as setting the large 12” x 48” tiles on the ceiling. In accordance with industry stan- dards, the steam room ceiling is sloped 2” per linear foot towards the back wall to manage conden- sation. MegaLite performance was also called on to install the massive “Blue Jeans” marble slabs measur- ing 4’ x 6’ on a wraparound fire- place in the hockey team’s execu- tive offices. Tile setting The high percentage of large- and-heavy or difficult-to-bond tile drove most of the mortars chosen for Rogers Place. ProLite® Premium Large Format Tile Mortar was the most frequently and diversely specified. A lightweight formula with excellent handling charac- teristics, ProLite offers high flex- ibility and bond strength. ProLite® will not slip on walls or slump on floors, and can be placed up to 3/4” thick to support heavy tile. ProLite was used to install up to FEATURE: NHL arena targets LEED Silver with CUSTOM Quarry tile in all bar and kitchen areas was set over RedGard® with VersaBond® Flex Professional Thin-Set Mortar.
