Description
ARDEX IndorTec Flexbone VA is a high load-bearing, waterproof, uncoupling membrane. It accommodates lateral movements for tile installations on floors with limited movement. Its bone-shaped pattern with GripLock technology delivers outstanding tensile bond strength.
Features and benefits:
- Maximum protection from lateral movement.
- Has distinctive bone-shaped cavities and GripLock technology for ease of spreading and higher bond strength.
- Supports and distributes heavy loads from above.
- Can be tiles immediately after laying.
- Excellent adhesive shear strength.
- Excellent tensile strength: stops tiles ‘popping-off’/ cracking under pressure.
- Water vapour pressure compensating: a fleece laminated to the underside compensates for water vapour pressure.
- Waterproof: can be used in internal wet areas.
- Can be stored for approx. 48 months in dry rooms, away from direct sunlight.
