2.13 DRAINAGE MEMBRANES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proper drainage is an essential feature of exterior tile assemblies where water is allowed to
infiltrate a mortar setting bed. Water expands when it freezes and can exert great pressure and
cause damage to its surroundings. Thus, any moisture that enters a setting bed must be allowed
to leave the system quickly. Schluter drainage membranes are designed to provide a simple and
effective means to allow seepage water to exit the tile assembly quickly and avoid permanent
saturation of the mortar bed.
