Blanke Tile Waterproofing & Underlayment Systems
Blanke provides waterproofing, vapor protection, substrate reinforcement, uncoupling, and crack isolation products for compatible ceramic tile and natural stone installations. Available Blanke products include waterproofing membranes, seam tapes, preformed corners, drain and floor collars, sealants, reinforcing tile underlayment, and uncoupling membranes. These systems address different installation requirements across showers, bathrooms, steam rooms, floors, walls, and other tiled areas.
Types of Blanke Tile Installation Systems
AQUA SHIELD Waterproofing System
Blanke AQUA SHIELD provides waterproofing and vapor protection beneath compatible tile and stone. The system includes membrane, seam tapes, preformed corners, collars, and sealant for maintaining continuity at seams, transitions, drains, penetrations, and other installation details. AQUA SHIELD also provides uncoupling and crack isolation properties within compatible assemblies.
PERMAT Tile Underlayment
Blanke PERMAT is a reinforcing tile underlayment designed to strengthen compatible tile assemblies while providing a low-profile layer beneath the finished surface. Its mesh construction provides reinforcement and load distribution over suitable substrates, making it distinct from underlayments primarily intended for uncoupling.
SECUMAT Uncoupling Underlayment
Blanke SECUMAT provides a thin uncoupling and crack isolation layer between compatible substrates and tile coverings. Its rolled construction can be used over approved wood and cement-based substrates where controlling movement and limiting overall assembly height are important considerations.
Choosing Blanke Tile-Setting Products
Choose Blanke products according to whether the installation requires waterproofing, vapor protection, substrate reinforcement, uncoupling, crack isolation, or a combination of these functions. Membranes, underlayments, seam treatments, collars, corners, sealants, and other system components should be selected and installed according to the requirements of the corresponding Blanke system.
