The new Tec Crack Isolation Sheet Membrane protects ceramic tile, natural stone and other hard surface flooring.

H.B. Fuller Construction Products has added a new surface preparation product to its Tec system.

The new Tec Crack Isolation Sheet Membrane is an easy-to-use, peel and stick underlayment designed to accompany Tec mortars and grouts for time-sensitive, hard surface flooring commercial installations, according to the company.

Tec Crack Isolation Sheet Membrane protects ceramic tile, natural stone and other hard surface flooring from in-plane cracks and movement up to 3/8-inch. It also contributes to sound suppression in commercial and residential settings.

 

According to the company, this peel and stick product allows installers to efficiently lay the foundation for long-lasting installations. Its simple installation makes it perfect for commercial jobs that need to be available for foot traffic as soon as possible, as well as fast-track residential installs. After priming with the easy-to-use Tec Multipurpose Primer, apply the Tec Crack Isolation Sheet Membrane to any clean subfloor surface. Tile can be installed immediately after the product is set in place. It is eligible for a system limited warranty when used with Tec products.

 

Because it is only 40-mil thick without the release liner, according to the company, the Crack Isolation Sheet Membrane creates lower profile finished floors. It can be used indoors over concrete, plywood, gypsum or OSB, and over most existing vinyl, tile or natural stone floors. It meets or exceeds ANSI A118.12.
