Waterproofing

What is Tilesafe?

Tilesafe is a bitumen-based tanking membrane for waterproofing shower zones etc.

The product is probably one of the best tanking membranes available for use in wetroom applications as it provides a thick industrial strength impermeable barrier to any water that may escape beneath the tiles.

The membrane is self-adhesive and comes on a roll. Once installed tiles can be applied immediately - there is no curing time.

Although particularly suited to floor applications Tilesafe can also be applied to walls as an additional precaution. However, there is a maximum weight limit for wall mounted tiles when using Tilesafe and this should not exceed 20kg/m².

Impey UK recommend tanking the shower floor to at least 1m beyond the edges of the 'Dec area (ideally the entire floor should be covered), with particular attention to the join where the 'Dec meets the surrounding floor.

The Tilesafe can be used with under floor heating, and at Impey UK we recommend use of the Devimat 100 watt system.

Impey UK offer 2 different kit sizes for Tilesafe, 5m² and 10m².

Note: Maximum effective temperature for Tilesafe is 32^oC and should not be exceeded. Impey do not recommend any other heating system than the Devimat 100 watt system.
