Description
Progress Profiles Prodeso Eco Decoupling Membrane is a 3.5mm thick membrane that protects tiled surfaces from substrate issues like cracking and movement. It’s suitable for various substrates, including cement screeds, old flooring, green screeds, and wood. The membrane is resistant to chemicals and comes in 30m x 1m rolls, with a self-adhesive version available for easy installation.
Made of high-density polyethene, it features a grid of dovetail cavities for secure tile bonding and a non-woven polypropylene backing for strong adhesion to the substrate. The membrane neutralizes movement between the substrate and flooring, preventing cracks and delamination.
It also acts as a waterproofing layer for wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens when used with Proband 150 tape and Proband Koll adhesive. The membrane’s channels allow vapour to escape and ensure even heat distribution when used with underfloor heating.

Installation:
1. Cut the Prodeso Eco Decoupling Membrane to the desired length and with a 7 X 5mm notched trowel apply a suitable tile adhesive according to the substrate below.
2. Apply the membrane on the wet adhesive and press the membrane down into the adhesive using a plastic trowel, to acquire a strong bond.
3. Check the back wetting of the Prodeso Eco Decoupling Membrane. In case of non-complete wetting, increase the quantity of adhesive.
4. Lay the next membrane run, taking care to align it with the previous one, without overlapping.
5. Apply Proband KOLL / Proband KOLL AB Adhesive along the joint between two adjacent runs of Prodeso Eco Decoupling Membrane with the flat side of the notched trowel, for a width of about 200mm. Take care to fill the cavities of the membrane and leave a thin layer of adhesive on top of the reliefs.
6. Place Proband 150 Sealing Tape on the Proband KOLL, following the joint. Apply strong pressure and smooth the sealing tape to ensure adhesion, preventing creases.
7. Apply Proband KOLL / Proband KOLL AB on the membrane/vertical wall edges using the flat side of the notched trowel, for a width of about 100mm. Take care to fill the cavities of the membrane and to leave a thin layer of adhesive on top of the reliefs. Apply the adhesive on the wall surface for a height of about 100mm.
8. Place Proband 150 Sealing Tape on the Proband KOLL Adhesive, following the joint. Apply strong pressure and smooth the sealing tape to ensure adhesion, preventing creases.
Please Note: After the Prodeso Eco Decoupling Membrane has been installed, the flooring can be laid immediately on top using a suitable tile adhesive.
