Floortec™ is a high-performance, durable uncoupling membrane to be installed under any tile installation. Its key features include:
- Round-shaped mortar columns for maximum load support contributing to “extra heavy” (14 cycles) rating on the Robinson test method (ASTM 627 over 19.2” wood joist structure)
- “Lay-Flat” technology to minimize curling
- Translucent to monitor thin-set coverage
- Textured surface for stronger thin-set adhesion allowing chalk lines to “hold”
- Round-shaped surface configuration for better overall workability
“Clearly, the round-shaped mortar columns make the difference with this product,” stated Greg Gelston, President of Profilitec. “Think of columns in a building. They are most notably circular, which by the natural laws of physics, will evenly distribute the entire load’s weight versus a square column.”
The introduction of Floortec™ reinforces the company’s commitment to its positioning as the “Choice of the Professional.”
Gelston concluded, “We strive to offer the most advanced engineered products, all of which areintended to solve real-time problems within the industry. Real solutions for real issues.”
