Blanke GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1948 in Iserlohn, Germany. Initially a manufacturer for wire bending parts, now producing high-quality trims and innovative underlayment solutions for over 80 different countries.
Everything Blanke does is in pursuit of its goal to help and support everybody in the tile industry to do their job well.
Blanke supports that goal through high quality products, which are easy to install and add value and protection to every installation, and exceptional customer service to provide information and guidance.
Here are a few of Blanke’s exceptional underlayment products:
Blanke PERMAT
Blanke PERMAT is an innovative reinforcement underlayment that provides reinforcement protection and adds support to wood substrates. It reduces deflection and provides greater compression and tensile strength compared to plastic roll products.
Blanke PERMAT:
- Reinforces wood substrate
- Only 1/8” thickness
- Lightweight, easy to cut and install
- No tile size restrictions
- 10 year warranty against deflection
Blanke SECUMAT
BLANKE SECUMAT is a tear-proof rolled uncoupling underlayment that provides a secure bonding surface for ceramic tile and natural stone installations on both interior floors and walls.
Blanke SECUMAT is:
- Tear-proof, thin, crack isolation
- Low elevation
- Requires less thin set than other underlayment products
Blanke AQUA-SHIELD:
Blanke AQUA-SHIELD is a waterproofing membrane that can be applied with thinset to most surfaces that are dry, flat, and structurally sound. Its high tensile strength ensures long lasting protection from moisture penetration in continuous wet areas such as showers and bathrooms. Its benefits include:
- Rolled waterproof membrane
- Ideal for showers and steam rooms
- Tear-resistant and durable
- Dependable against mold, strong chemicals, and UV light
Blanke TRIBOARD:
Blanke TRIBOARD is a thin, impact-noise-reducing and uncoupling underlayment system with a high compressive strength for traffic loads up to 5 kN/m2 for laying ceramic or natural stone floor coverings. It reduces impact noise by up to 17dB in accordance with DIN EN ISO 140-8 and is a very low emission product.
Blanke TEBA-MAT:
Blanke TEBA-MAT is a studded membrane made from impact-resistant recycled polystyrene (HIPS). The innovative shape of the studs is combined with a double-woven, glass fiber mesh that serves as both an anchor and a filter layer. The rear of the studded membrane is fitted with non-vapor retarding protective decoupling fleece to affix to the waterproofing layer.
Blanke DRAIN-MAT:
BLANKE DRAIN-MAT provides a durable prefabricated drains system to prevent the accumulation of moisture that can form hydrostatic pressure and damage floors. It offers:
- Fast and durable drainage
- No deterioration beneath the surface covering
- Superior compressive strength prevents freeze/ thaw damage caused by moisture accumulation in exterior tile installation
- Heat stable up to 176°F
