Cerami-Tech® thermo-acoustic membrane is conceived for ceramic and stone tiles installation over wood or concrete structures.

Enjoy the sound of silence
Cerami-Tech thermo-acoustic membrane provides the comfort and the quietness of a superior soundproofing. The membrane exceed soundproofing requirements of condominiums and multi-units buildings. Cerami-Tech provides a nice muffled ambience by diminushing impact noises and improves in-room sound quality.

Keep your feet comfortable
The R factor (thermal resistance) of the membrane stops the cold coming from the concrete slab from reaching your floor. The aluminium film reflects themperature keeping your feet more comfortable.

Robinson tested for credibility
Cerami-Tech membrane has successfully completed the Robinson test, the most demanding of the industry. Perfect for «light commercial» (ASTM C-627-93 Standard Test Method for Evaluating Ceramic Floor Tile Installation Systems Using the Robinson-Type Floor Tester).



Characteristics Ceramic Floor Membrane

Anti-fracture
Thanks to its resistance, Cerami-Tech protects ceramic tiles from reflactive cracking. Cerami-Tech assumes a fracture up to 3 mm (1/8") without damaging ceramic tiles.

Acoustical
Soundproof the floor by reducing impact and airborn noises. Provides a nice muffled ambience by diminushing hollow sounds created by ceramic floors.

Reflective
Makes the floor more comfortable thanks to its unique reflective film that keeps the floor warm during winter and cool during summer.

Mechanical
Muffles floor creak, evens out minor subfloor irregularities and makes floor installation easier.

Cerami-Tech® membrane has completed successfully the Robinson test (ASTM C-627-93), the most demanding of the industry, for residential installations and for « light commercial » level.

ASTM C-627-93 Standard test method for evaluating ceramic floor tile installation systems using Robinson-type floor tester.

The Robinson test is a standard approved by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC) located in the National Research Council Canada (NRC) offers a nation-wide service of evaluation for innovative materials in construction. CCMC evaluations are based on the most recent technologies and are recognized for their expertise.

The evaluation report confirm the quality of TECHTMmembrane, the only thermo-acoustic product with this accreditation.

Tests completed indicate that Cerami-Tech® reduces the transmission of impact noises. This performance comply advantageously with the requirements in most of the large cities of North America.

Typical installation
Without suspended ceiling

1. Concrete slab 8 "
2. AD-316 Adhesive
3. Cerami-Tech® membrane
4. Polymer-modified hydraulic mortar
