Atech Products: Anti-Fracture Membrane
The Anti-Fracture Membrane by Atech Products is a two-part system made of liquid rubber and reinforcing fabric. Once it dries, it becomes a very flexible layer. This is helpful because when you put tiles on floors using the thin bed method, sometimes the floors can crack. These cracks can show through the tiles or grout lines. To stop or lessen these cracks, you should use our membrane on the cracked floor before putting down ceramic tiles, marble, or stone. Our Anti-Fracture Membrane has Microban protection. This helps fight mold and mildew that can cause stains.

Features & Benefits

  • Stops Cracks: Helps stop cracks from spreading in ceramic tile, thin brick, marble, and stone when using the thin-set method. Great for use under cement-based or resin Terrazzo.
  • Microban Protection: Fights mold and mildew that can stain the membrane.
  • Thin Layer: Adds no noticeable thickness to the floor. You can put tiles directly on the cured membrane using Polymer Fortified Thin-Set Mortar.
  • Strong: Rated “Extra Heavy Service” by TCNA (based on the ASTM C627 Robinson Floor Test).
  • Easy to Apply: Can be quickly applied with a paintbrush or roller. No mixing or special tools needed.
  • Safe: No solvents or harsh fumes, and it is non-flammable.
  • Fast Drying: Dries in just a few hours, ready for the final surface.
  • Easy Cleanup: Cleans with water while still fresh.

  • What is Anti Fracture Membrane AFM?
    What is Anti Fracture Membrane AFM?Anti Fracture Membrane AFM is a high-performance sheet material designed to prevent cracks from transferring through to tile or stone surfaces. It works by absorbing small movements in the substrate, ensuring your flooring or wall finish stays intact for years. This membrane also offers waterproofing properties, making it perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, and other wet or high-traffic areas.
  • Where can I install Anti Fracture Membrane AFM?
    Where can I install Anti Fracture Membrane AFM?You can install Anti Fracture Membrane AFM anywhere that needs both crack prevention and moisture protection. Common applications include shower floors and walls, outdoor terraces, pool surrounds, commercial kitchens, and residential bathrooms. Its dual function as a crack-isolation layer and waterproof barrier makes it ideal for both new builds and renovation projects.
  • What is an Anti-Fracture Membrane?
    What is an Anti-Fracture Membrane?An Anti-Fracture Membrane is a layer placed between your substrate and tile or stone finish to stop cracks from appearing on the surface. It’s commonly used in areas where structural movement, temperature changes, or substrate settling could cause tiles to crack. By using this membrane, you increase the lifespan and appearance of your tiled surfaces.
  • Why is Sheet Membrane Waterproofing important?
    Why is Sheet Membrane Waterproofing important?Sheet Membrane Waterproofing is essential because it creates a continuous barrier that stops water from penetrating into the substrate. Without it, moisture can cause structural damage, mould growth, and costly repairs. A quality sheet membrane ensures that wet areas like showers, bathrooms, and balconies remain fully protected for years.
  • How does a Sheet Membrane compare to liquid waterproofing?
    How does a Sheet Membrane compare to liquid waterproofing?A Sheet Membrane provides an even, consistent thickness, immediate coverage, and no drying time, unlike liquid waterproofing which can be uneven and requires curing. It’s easier to verify installation quality, and it offers both flexibility and strength, making it a preferred choice for long-term waterproofing and crack prevention.
  • How long does Sheet Membrane Waterproofing last?
    How long does Sheet Membrane Waterproofing last?When installed correctly, Sheet Membrane Waterproofing can last for decades. Its durability comes from high-quality materials that resist tearing, stretching, and moisture damage. Regular inspections and proper maintenance will help preserve its protective capabilities for many years.
