Blanke

Our Blanke collection includes AQUA SHIELD waterproofing membrane, AQUA DB and AQUA SA seam tapes, preformed 90° waterproofing corners, AQUA BM floor collars, AQUA WM drain collars, and AQUA SEAL adhesive and sealant. We also carry PERMAT reinforcing tile underlayment and SECUMAT uncoupling and crack isolation underlayment.

Blanke AQUA SHIELD is a waterproofing and vapor barrier membrane installed beneath ceramic tile and natural stone. It is designed for showers, bathrooms, steam rooms, and other tiled areas that require protection from moisture penetration.

Yes. AQUA SHIELD provides vapor-barrier protection that makes it suitable for steam room installations when installed according to Blanke’s system requirements. All seams, corners, penetrations, and connections must be properly sealed to maintain a continuous waterproofing and vapor-control layer.

Blanke AQUA DB is a waterproofing seam tape used at seams, transitions, and movement joints within the AQUA SHIELD system. AQUA SA serves a similar detailing purpose but includes a self-adhesive backing for faster and more convenient seam installation.

Preformed corners and collars help maintain continuous waterproofing at areas that can be difficult to seal with flat membrane alone. Blanke AQUA 90° Corners address inside and outside corner transitions, while AQUA BM Floor Collars and AQUA WM Drain Collars provide targeted waterproofing around floor penetrations and drain connections.

Blanke AQUA SEAL is a waterproofing polymer adhesive and sealant used for overlapping membrane seams, waterproofing accessories, and connections to adjoining building components. It helps complete detailed transitions within the Blanke waterproofing system.

Blanke PERMAT is a reinforcing tile underlayment designed to strengthen the assembly, reduce deflection over wood substrates, and provide reinforcement and crack isolation over suitable cement substrates. Blanke SECUMAT is a thin rolled uncoupling and crack isolation underlayment designed to absorb substrate stress while keeping the tile assembly height low.

Yes. PERMAT and SECUMAT are designed for use beneath ceramic tile and natural stone when installed over an approved substrate. Substrate preparation, mortar selection, movement joints, and installation methods should follow the instructions for the specific Blanke product being used.
