• Crack Isolation:
Crack Isolation products are used with tile installations over concrete slabs
or wood substrates where movement is a concern. These products protect
the tile surface from cracks due to movement underneath the tile and
substrate. There are typically 2 types of crack isolation products: peel
and stick membrane or liquid applied roll on.
• Floor Patch:
Patching products provide a smooth finish prior to the installation of any floor
tile. They are used to patch and level concrete or plywood to create an even
bonding surface filling voids up to ½” in depth.
• Floor Leveling:
Floor leveling products are specifically made to level floors prior to the
installation of a variety of floor coverings in commercial and residential
applications. There is a variety of leveling products for different leveling
needs such as fast drying, light weight (where overall floor weight is a
concern), and feather edge products that provide floor leveling support from
0” to 1” in a single application depending on product type.
