Description
Tilemaster Anti-Fracture Mat is an uncoupling/decoupling mat designed for use on floor tile installations to prevent substrate lateral movement from cracking the tiled finish. Tilemaster Anti-Fracture Mat can be used in a wide range of applications to absorb lateral movement from substrates and to bridge stress/shrinkage cracking in substrates to prevent such movement from being transferred to the tiled finish. The matting can be used when installing a large variety of tiles including ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles. Tilemaster Anti-Fracture Mat is ideal for domestic and commercial applications in light, medium and heavy-duty environments.
