ECB
ANTI-FRACTURE MEMBRANE
 ECB
MEMBRANE is a self-bonding, sheet applied elastomeric membrane.
It consists of a base layer of polymer modified elastomers,
permanently laminated to a unique "stress flex"
fiber sheet. Together they form a single 40 mil (1/16")
high strength self-bonding membrane that is easily applied.
ECB MEMBRANE is designed for use under floor tile surfaces
that require protection from structural
and thermal movement. ECB MEMBRANE adheres permanently to
the sub-floor, remains flexible and will last the life of
the flooring surface.
How
It Works:
ECB
MEMBRANE bridges all existing and future movement of the
sub-floor. The key to ECB's effectiveness is its two component
patent pending design. The elastomeric base layer functions
as a buffer, absorbing the thermal and structural movement
of the sub-floor, while its unique "stress flex"
fiber sheet creates a new flooring surface which will accommodate
most mortars, organic adhesives and epoxy setting materials.
ECB MEMBRANE protects tile from thermal and structural movement,
live and dead loads (bounce and reverberation), movement
of cracks and shrinkage (creep). The adhesion and integrity
of the tile floor are preserved by the "anti-fracture"
action of ECB MEMBRANE.

Uses:
ECB MEMBRANE is cost effective as a sub-floor
over wood, concrete, terrazzo, pre-cast panels, light weight
concrete, radiant heated floors, vinyl composition and vinyl
asbestos tile, metal and other existing hard surface flooring,
providing they are structurally sound. ECB MEMBRANE can be
used in malls, airports, commercial buildings, department
stores, office buildings, restaurants, apartments, condominiums,
residential homes or anywhere sub-floor problems threaten
the integrity of the tile floor. Because ECB MEMBRANE is only
40 mil thick (1/16"), it can be used in new or remodel
construction where height restrictions exist; mud beds, concrete
backer boards, plywood, and other sub-floor systems cannot.
ECB MEMBRANE is also an insulator, helping floors stay warmer,
drier and quieter.
ECB MEMBRANE is
recommended for thin-bed or thick-bed installation of ceramic
tile, quarry tile, marble, pavers, stone, agglomerate tile,
and commercial grade vinyl composition tile and is an effective
vapor barrier under wood and carpet.
