GREEN ANTI-FRACTURE MEMBRANE
 ECB
GREEN MEMBRANE
is a self-bonding, sheet applied elastomeric membrane. It
consists of a base layer of polymer modified elastomers,
permanently laminated to a recycled plastic "stress
flex" fiber sheet. Together they form a single 40 mil
(1/16") high strength, self-bonding membrane that is
easily applied. ECB GREEN MEMBRANE is designed for use in
LEED certified projects under floor tile surfaces that require
protection from structural movement. ECB Green MEMBRANE
adheres permanently to the sub-floor, remains flexible and
will last the life of the flooring surface.

Certification:
 ECB
Green is certified to have a minimum recycled content of
12% through Scientific Certification Systems. This will
help with LEED requirements. For more information about
recycled content or on LEED, please contact Nick Duve' at
ext 207.
How
It Works:
ECB
GREEN MEMBRANE bridges all existing and future
movement of the sub-floor. The key to ECB GREEN'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 recycled
"stress flex" fiber sheet creates a new flooring
surface which will accommodate most mortars, organic adhesives
and epoxy setting materials meeting ANSI A118.4. ECB GREEN
MEMBRANE protects tile from 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 GREEN MEMBRANE.

Uses:
ECB GREEN
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 GREEN MEMBRANE can be used
in LEED projects, 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 GREEN 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 GREEN MEMBRANE is
recommended for thin-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.
