PROVA FLEX-HEAT® Underlayment Roll

SKU: 80228
Size
  • Polypropylene Tile & Stone floor underlayment for crack isolation
  • Protects tile floors from cracking due to substrate movement
  • Accepts heating cables (sold separately) to warm tiled floors
  • Made of two layers of polypropylene for mechanical bonding, vapor management and Sheer Stress control to neutralize stress caused by substrate movement
  • Install with 1/4 in. x 1/4 in. Square Notch Trowel
  • Protects tile or stone floors from cracking as substrates move or settle and accepts heating cables (sold separately) up to 5 mm to create comfort via in-floor heat
  • 3.28 in. W x 16 ft. 5 in. L (5 sq m / 54 sq ft.)
  • Red primary layer with white fleece bottom layer
  • Vapor Management System: Open-air channels beneath the fleece layer provides a path for moisture to dissipate. Well suited for below-grade installations
  • 0.26″ (6.5 mm) thick membrane: Can be used without heating cables for matching up to higher floors to achieve a level transition
  • Versatile Heating Cable Compatibility: Can be used with multiple wire sizes of up to 0.2” (5 mm) thick
  • Achieve 3″ (7.6 cm) Cable Spacing: Provides most efficient heat distribution as per wire manufacturer specifications
  • Premium polymer-modified thin set mortar required for installation, no premixed mortar or mastic
  • Made of two layers of polypropylene for mechanical bonding, vapor management and Sheer Stress control to neutralize stress caused by substrate movement
  • Install with 1/4 in. x 1/4 in. Square Notch Trowel

PROVA FLEX-HEAT® is an uncoupling and crack isolation membrane for tiled floors that includes channels for inserting low-voltage heating cables (sold separately). The underlayment consists of a polypropylene sheet with studs for carrying heating cables, channels for managing vapor, and a polypropylene nonwoven anchoring fleece for securing the membrane to the substrate. The fleece layer is secured with a polyolefin-based adhesive, and it provides shear stress control by neutralizing stress caused by substrate movement. PROVA FLEX-HEAT accepts heating cables up to 5 mm.
