ACME DECOUPLING MAT

THE ACME UNDERFLOOR HEATING DECOUPLING MEMBRANE IS A HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE MEMBRANE FEATURING ROUNDED SQUARE STUDS THAT CREATE DEDICATED CHANNELS FOR SECURELY HOLDING AND SPACING ELECTRIC UNDERFLOOR HEATING CABLES.

ENGINEERED FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE, THIS ADVANCED MEMBRANE PROVIDES UP TO 40% GREATER COMPRESSION RESISTANCE, 45% HIGHER TENSILE STRENGTH, AND MINIMISES CURLING AND ROLLBACK THANKS TO ITS ROBUST POLYETHYLENE CONSTRUCTION.

WHEN INSTALLED WITH THE ACME HEATING CABLE, THE MEMBRANE DELIVERS CONSISTENTLY WARM FLOORS BY PROMOTING UNIFORM HEAT DISTRIBUTION ACROSS THE ENTIRE FLOOR SURFACE.

WHAT IS A DECOUPLING MEMBRANE USED FOR?

A DECOUPLING MEMBRANE PROVIDES MULTIPLE BENEFITS, INCLUDING:

• PREVENTING CRACKS AND FLOOR DAMAGE – IT ABSORBS MOVEMENT FROM THE SUBFLOOR, REDUCING STRESS THAT CAN LEAD TO CRACKS OR DAMAGE IN TILED FLOORING.

• ENHANCING DURABILITY – BY ISOLATING FLOOR MOVEMENT, IT EXTENDS THE SERVICE LIFE OF BOTH TILED FLOORS AND UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEMS.

• REDUCING NOISE TRANSMISSION – THE MEMBRANE ACTS AS AN EFFECTIVE ACOUSTIC BARRIER, HELPING TO LIMIT SOUND TRANSFER BETWEEN FLOORS.

• IMPROVING HEAT DISTRIBUTION – IT CREATES A STABLE INSTALLATION BASE THAT ALLOWS HEAT TO SPREAD MORE EVENLY, IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEM.

• STRENGTHENING TILE ADHESION – IT PROVIDES AN OPTIMISED BONDING SURFACE BETWEEN THE SUBFLOOR AND TILE ADHESIVE, RESULTING IN IMPROVED TILE STABILITY AND LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE.
