Its layered mesh construction provides high compressive and tensile strength while also providing crack isolation through uncoupling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSelf-Seaming Panel Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach lightweight panel features a mesh overhang that connects adjacent panels without separate seam tape. The overlapping mesh helps transfer substrate movement stress across the installation while providing resistance to delamination during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWood and Concrete Subfloor Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePERMAT can be installed over interior plywood, OSB, and cement subfloors. For tile over wood framing with joists spaced 16\" to 24\" on center, a minimum 3\/4\" subfloor is required. Natural stone installations require a 3\/4\" subfloor with joists spaced 16\" to 19\" on center; at 24\" spacing, an additional 3\/8\" layer is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThinset Installation with Immediate Tile Setting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePERMAT installs fleece-side down into thinset mortar applied with a 1\/4\" x 1\/4\" notched trowel. Panels are installed with overlapping mesh and a minimum 3\" offset pattern. Tile can be installed immediately after the underlayment is placed, with no extended cure time required for latex-modified thinset mortar beneath porcelain tile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blanke","offers":[{"title":"Single Panel","offer_id":54072359911619,"sku":"BLANKE-PERMAT-527-904-US-1","price":17.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30-Panel Carton","offer_id":54072359944387,"sku":"BLANKE-PERMAT-527-904-US","price":517.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0604\/8373\/1651\/files\/blanke-permat_1.webp?v=1787665416","url":"https:\/\/tilethis.com\/products\/blanke-permat-reinforcing-tile-stone-underlayment","provider":"Tile This","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
