Nuheat Peel & Stick Membrane 39” x 39” for Heating Floors (10.6sqft)

NUHEAT Peel & Stick Membrane does not have a layer of fabric bonded to the bottom like our standard Membrane; instead, a pressure sensitive adhesive is applied directly to the underside of the polypropylene structure and the adhesive is protected by a release liner. The other unique features of NUHEAT Peel & Stick Membrane are the mortar vents cut into the top of each pillar. These vents ensure a permanent bond by allowing mortar applied above the membrane to adhere to both the substrate and the floor covering materials. The first step when installing any membrane product is to dry fit the membrane for the entire area, ensuring you have sufficient supply for the job and cutting down sections to facilitate fitment as required. Once the pre-fitting is complete, the substrate must be cleaned and then prepped with any standard acrylic floor primer, readily available at most home improvement retailers and flooring distributors. Once the primer has begun to dry and feels slightly tacky to the touch, the release liner can be removed and Peel & Stick Membrane can be applied to the treated surface. The bond created between the adhesive and the treated substrate is very strong; however, to ensure a long-lasting, high-performance floor assembly that lives up to the NUHEAT 25-year product warranty, the final permanent bond relies on the mortar applied on top of the membrane. Mortar flows through the vents, bonding to the substrate below. By applying either modified or unmodified thinset mortar to embed the heating cable and secure the floor covering, air gaps within the membrane pillars are sufficient to ensure the assembly still achieves the same "High Performance" rating on the ANSI A118.12 System Crack Resistance test that the standard NUHEAT Membrane achieves.

• THE INTEGRATED ELECTRIC FLOOR HEATING AND UNCOUPLING SOLUTION
• Reduces risk of tile cracks due to subfloor movement: provides uncoupling and crack isolation. Acts as tile underlayment: can replace a layer of plywood or concrete board in the subfloor assembly.
• Cleaner and easier installation: NUHEAT Peel & Stick Membrane installs in 40% less time than membranes that require thinset, reduces floor height buildup and eliminates thinset oozing through seams
• Compatible with NUHEAT Cable: specifically designed to accept the best-in-class NUHEAT Cable without cutting or other modifications; NUHEAT Cable enables flexible heat output with varied cable spacing. Compatible with modified and unmodified thinsets: installers can use their thinset of choice.
• On-site adjustment: cut on-site to fit the room; ideal for complex room shapes with curves and angles
