BAL Rapid-Mat Uncoupling Membrane is an advanced fast-track uncoupling system designed to accommodate lateral movement in tile installations while reducing adhesive consumption and installation time. At just 1mm thick, this innovative matting solution provides minimal height build-up, making it ideal for projects where space is limited.
Perfect for internal flooring, renovations, new builds, and commercial applications, BAL Rapid-Mat is particularly recommended for heated and timber floors, offering superior crack-bridging and stress reduction between the substrate and tiles.
Key Benefits:- Fast-Track Installation – Tile immediately after laying for accelerated project completion.
- Reduced Adhesive Usage – Uses 20% less adhesive than cavity-based systems, saving 1.5kg per m² (or 45kg per 30m roll).
- High Load Capacity – Minimal mat compression enhances floor durability and load resistance.
- Lightweight & Easy to Handle – At only 8.5kg per roll, it’s simple to cut, roll out, and install.
- Super Slim Profile – With just 1mm thickness, it minimizes height build-up, ideal for tight spaces.
- Straightforward Application – No additional tapes required; simply butt-joint the sheets together.
- Long Storage Life – Can be stored for up to 24 months in dry conditions away from sunlight.
- Installation of ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and concrete pavers
- Preventing reflective cracking from shrinkage, board joints, or lateral movement
- Minimizing tension stress between substrate and tiles
- Medium to heavy-duty applications in domestic and commercial areas
- Kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas
- Timber and heated floors
