RIW TILESAFE
Tilesafe is a self-adhesive waterproof membrane designed for use prior to the application of ceramic tiles and natural stone onto timber and solid floors in wetrooms and other critical areas.
Tilesafe comprises a self-adhesive cold applied waterproof membrane which consists of a thick rubberised waterproof layer incorporating a woven glass fibre mesh on one side.
Tilesafe is quick and easy to apply, providing a consistent waterproof layer that is guaranteed not to leak.
Tilesafe will also act as an effective de-coupling membrane by uncoupling the floor tiles and accommodating movement in the substrate.

PRODUCT DETAILS
 |
For timber floors we recommend that the Tilesafe membrane is applied to the entire wetroom floor.
Care should be taken to ensure the temperature is at least 10°C. Conditioning of the membrane in a warm area prior to use will enhance its adhesion properties during application. |
IN DETAIL
Tilesafe is a unique, pre-formed flexible self-adhesive waterproof membrane that will accommodate differential movement between building elements, which is the principal weakness in alternative systems.
It is, therefore, ideal for use on modular and ‘lively’ substrates, such as timber, masonry, concrete, plasterboards, gypsum and existing ceramic or natural stones. Once applied Tilesafe is ready to tile immediately.
Tilesafe is cold applied, consisting of a 2mm thick rubberised waterproof layer, incorporating a woven glass fibre mesh on one side. It has been developed for use prior to the fixing of ceramic tiles and natural stone, applied using a flexible rapid-set tile adhesive, which keys to the mesh.
As the adhesive dries it forms a strong permanent bond through the mesh and directly onto the waterproof layer.
Tilesafe will also act as an effective de-coupling membrane, uncoupling the floor tiles from the substrate and assisting in counteracting the tensions that are present from differential movement between the substrate and the tiles.
Similarly, static, dynamic or stress cracks present in the substrate are bridged, therefore reflective cracking through the tile is prevented.
Specification M40 – Stone/Concrete/Quarry/Ceramic Tiling/Mosaic.
DE-COUPLING PERFORMANCE
RIW Tilesafe acts as an effective de-coupling or ’anti fracture’ membrane up to a gap of 2.25mm¹ by assisting in counteracting the tensions that are present from differential movement between the substrate and the tiles.
