Uncoupling Polyethylene Membrane G-FLEX
G-FLEX is a waterproof anti-fracture uncoupling membrane consisting of a polyethylene membrane bonded to geotextile sheet that leaves air nodules with the shape of circumferences between them. This improves the result of the of coating of ceramic tiles and indoors and outdoors natural stones. It is worth highlighting its effectiveness when installed on critical substrates; cracked, with a lot of movement or with possible vapor stresses due to residual humidity.
G-FLEX membrane also waterproofs any surface, whether old or new, damp or dry, cracked or subject to dimensional movement.
One of the main highlights of the G-FLEX membrane is that reduce on-site time, as the waterproofing and the laying of the coating are carried without waiting time, that it is to say, that the installation is immediately ready for use.
GURU G-FLEX Uncoupling Polyethylene Membrane is made up of raised circular patterns. The back of the sheet is covered by a geotextile sheet that acts as a waterproofing sheet. This uncoupling sheet compensates for the vapor pressure in the event that moisture appears on the support and causes the effect of uncoupling on cracked or highly moving substrates.
- High decoupling
- 100% waterproof
- Vapor pressure compensation
- Load distribution with increased resistance
- Total adhesion of the whole
Properties of the uncoupling sheet G-FLEX
1. Decoupling
The design and distribution of the nodules makes possible to articulate deformation in all directions while keeping the point load distribution and cushioning the stress due to horizontal movements and by deflection.
2. Vapour management and moisture
Nodules distributions features a ducting network that allows vapor pressure to circulate and dissipate and enables to dry excess moisture.
3. Uncoupling
HDPE membrane ensures the physical separation between the substrate and the cladding.
4. Better heat distribution
About the radiant heated floors, the duct network allows the heat to be distributed more quickly and evenly.
5. Load-bearing capacity
When ceramic tile or natural stone flooring is laid on G-Flex membrane the cavities are filled with tile adhesive cement to form small pillars which, when hardened, support the loads and transfer them from the tiling to the firm substrate at multiple points.
6. Waterproofing
Installations with G-Flex can also be used for waterproofing. As the HDPE polyethylene sheet is completely waterproof, as the joints between sheets and the gaps between the floor and the wall must be sealed with WATER-STOP W-S BAND glued with polymeric waterproof cement.
