Have you ever wondered why tile installations require an underlayment membrane? What is it, and what purpose does it serve? In this blog post, you’ll get answers to all these questions and some insight into why a tile underlayment membrane is essential for any tile installation.
What Is a Tile Underlayment Membrane?
A tile underlayment membrane is an important layer of material installed beneath the tiling before the grout and sealant are applied. It helps to protect the substrate from moisture damage and provides additional structural integrity.
This means that, if an underlayment membrane, such as the Nuheat membrane, is properly installed, your tiling will be more stable and last longer than without an underlayment membrane.
The Benefits of Using an Underlayment Membrane
There are several benefits associated with using an underlayment membrane for your tile installation. The first and most obvious benefit is that it improves the longevity of your tiling by providing additional protection against moisture damage.
Additionally, a tile underlayment membrane can help to reduce noise levels when walking on hard surfaces such as ceramic or stone tiles. Finally, installing a tile underlayment membrane can help make the grouting process easier, as it reduces movement between the substrate and the tiles.
Where Can You Buy an Underlayment Membrane?
