Thinnest decoupling membrane??

[Daz]

I've got a floating floor to do (Yeah, I know!!), approx 40 sqm. Currently the client has 150mm sq tiles which have been down for over 12 years and not one crack in site, gout or otherwise???

They want to go with a 3 tile porcelain pattern.

I have said that I will only take on the job if they allow me to utilise a decoupling membrane but height is an issue. They don't want to exceed the current threshold heights which are flush with the oak flooring in adjoining rooms.

I normally use Ditra or Durabase which are both 3mm thick plus addy but would like to know if anyone can suggest a thinner alternative, please?

Thanks Neale,

At 0.8mm it looks pretty handy. I've pm'd PJC for some more info.

THis is what we use most often, Noble Company NOBLE CIS. It came be bonded to the floor with either thinset or their proprietary glue (NobleBond EXT). The sheet is 30 mils or 0.08mm. Are Noble products sold in the UK?

Hi m8

If you have a floating floor then first I would not recomend tiling on it second if you go adead you need a true uncoupling membrane such as Dura-ci or a ditra mat.

A membrane under the standard 3mm ish depth will NOT do what you are asking of it, I dont care how many airports pecilastic have done and Mapetex is not made for the market its a release membrane with crack bridging properties....................
