    Can uncoupling membranes be used with heated floor systems?
    Yes, most uncoupling membranes are compatible with electric radiant heating systems. Brands like Warmup and Nuheat offer systems specifically designed for use with tile underlayments.

    We carry high-quality membranes from trusted names like GURU USA, HYDRO-BLOK, Nuheat, SunTouch, and Warmup—each offering durable, easy-to-install solutions.
    Do I still need a waterproofing layer with uncoupling membranes?
    It depends on the membrane. Some options offer built-in waterproofing, while others require a separate waterproofing layer. If you're installing in a wet area like a shower, consider combining with a waterproof membrane for full protection.
