FAQs

What is the primary function of this fleece roll?

Its primary function is to create a waterproof barrier on walls and floors beneath tiles, preventing water damage in wet areas like showers and bathrooms.

Can this fleece be used on floors and walls?

Yes, it is designed for both wall and floor applications in wet environments.

How should I join sections of the fleece?

Adjacent sections should overlap by at least 5-10cm and be sealed with compatible waterproof tape and a suitable sealant for a watertight connection.

What type of adhesive should I use?

It is compatible with most standard tile adhesives. Always refer to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for suitability with waterproofing membranes.

Is this product suitable for use with underfloor heating?

Yes, it can be used with underfloor heating systems, provided it is installed according to the underfloor heating system manufacturer's guidelines.

What are the available roll sizes?

Do I need to seal the entire surface or just the seams?

Troubleshooting

Water leakage after installation

Review installation for any gaps in coverage, unsealed seams, or improperly applied adhesive. Address any identified breaches and re-seal if necessary.

Fleece not adhering well to substrate

Ensure the substrate was clean, dry, and free of contaminants before adhesive application. Use the correct type of adhesive and apply it evenly.

Tears or punctures in the fleece

Repair small tears by applying a patch of the fleece material with compatible adhesive and sealant, ensuring it is fully embedded and sealed.

Bubbles or unevenness under tiles

Ensure the fleece was fully embedded into wet adhesive without air pockets during installation. Use a smoother or roller to press it in firmly.
