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 are anti-fracture crack isolation sheet membranes?
    What are anti-fracture crack isolation sheet membranes?Anti-fracture crack isolation sheet membranes are specialized waterproofing and reinforcement membranes used to prevent cracks in tile or stone installations from transferring to the finished surface. These membranes are typically made of elastomeric materials, such as rubber or polyethylene, which provide flexibility and absorb stress caused by substrate movement, preventing cracks from forming in the tile or stone above.
  • When should I use anti-fracture crack isolation sheet membranes?
    When should I use anti-fracture crack isolation sheet membranes? Anti-fracture crack isolation sheet membranes are recommended for installations where the substrate is prone to movement or cracking, such as concrete slabs, wood substrates, or areas subject to temperature fluctuations. They are especially useful in areas with high foot traffic or where heavy loads are anticipated. By isolating the tile or stone from substrate movements, these membranes help ensure the longevity and integrity of the finished surface.
  • How are anti-fracture crack isolation sheet membranes installed?
    How are anti-fracture crack isolation sheet membranes installed?The installation process may vary depending on the specific product and manufacturer's guidelines, but generally, it involves the following steps: First, the substrate is properly prepared by cleaning, leveling, and repairing any cracks or imperfections. The membrane is then applied to the substrate using a recommended adhesive, ensuring complete coverage, and avoiding any air pockets or voids. The tile or stone is then installed directly over the membrane using an appropriate thin-set adhesive. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult with a professional installer for proper installation techniques.
  • What are the benefits of using anti-fracture crack isolation sheet membranes?
    What are the benefits of using anti-fracture crack isolation sheet membranes?There are several benefits to using anti-fracture crack isolation sheet membranes. Firstly, they provide an additional layer of protection against cracks caused by substrate movements, reducing the risk of tile or stone damage and the need for costly repairs. These membranes also help improve the overall stability and longevity of the tile or stone installation. Additionally, anti-fracture membranes can serve as a waterproofing barrier, preventing moisture from reaching the substrate and protecting against water-related issues, such as mold and mildew growth.
