Uncoupling Membrane, 1m Roll: Helps stop cracked tiles over loose electric heating cable (video guide)

An uncoupling membrane for tiled floors over loose electric heating cable. Electric mats sit on their own mesh straight in the tile adhesive and do not need it. It separates the tiles from movement in timber, new screed or mixed subfloors, helping stop cracked tiles and grout, and spreads the load over the heating cable.

Here is how it fits and what to check, with the data sheet and install manual to download below.
