General product description
Waterproof and vapour retarding, thin-layer, crack isolating
sheet membrane made from highly tear-resistant
polyethylene film, which offers optimum
connection to tile
laying materials thanks to its dual-
sided special fleece
lamination. The installation over suitable pre-existing wall and
floor surfaces and subfloors is smooth and creates a strong
layer of protection with highest tear resistance while causing
exceptionally little build up in critical areas such as corners.

surface may be used on top of the wedi Subliner system or
