More advantages:

• Higher bending strength of the flooring construction
• No roll-off effect
• Easy to handle
• Optimal adhesive bonding between the mat and the subfloor
• Minimization of shear stress through active fibre fleece fabric
• Matching accessories

Dural decoupling mat DURABASE CI ++

Construction optimised 3-layer structure

Mesh fabric

• Higher bending strength of the flooring construction – stable flooring.
• Better adhesive bonding between the mat and the thin-bed mortar.
• No roll-off effect – the tile adhesive does not roll off when it is spread across the dimpled structure.
• Highly resistant to mechanical loading.

 

Geometry of the dimples

• The optimised shape of the dimples results in a significant reduction in the amount of adhesive required.
• Improved equalization of water vapour pressure.
• Optimised adhesion.

 

Fleece fabric with active fibres

• The active-fibre fleece increases the adhesion surface area and guarantees optimal adhesive bonding between the mat and the subsurface.
• The reinforced material of the fleece fabric minimises shear stresses.

Advantages for tile fitters and floor layers

• Bridges cracks and alleviates stress
• Functions as waterproofing in indoor applications
• Highly resistant to mechanical loading
• Faster laying, thanks to easier spreading of the adhesive
• Less adhesive is required, thanks to the optimized shape of the dimples
• Easy to handle and unroll – CI++ moulds itself to the floor (is not stiff)
• Improved transfer of loads, in line with DIN 1055-3
• Improves footfall sound insulation

Applications

Freshly-laid mineral subfloors

• Cement screed
• Calcium sulphate screed 
• Concrete

Subfloors subject to plastic deformation 

• Old synthetic flooring
• Mastic asphalt screed

System floors

• Double floors
• Raised floors

Outdoor flooring

• Balconies 
• Patios 
• Verandas

Problematic subfloors

• Cracked subfloors 
• Mixed-material subfloors 
• Wooden subfloors 
• Heating screed
• Dry screed
• Metal subfloors

Large-format tiles

• e.g. > 50 x 50 cm sufficiently thick and fracture resistant. No thin tiles – as these could break)

Advantages for architects, design engineers and developers

Time is money: CI++ allows tiles to be laid as soon as the subfloor can be walked on

In real-time, this means: 

• A time saving of around 3 to 4 weeks for cement screeds and calcium sulphate screeds – tiles can be laid after just 3 or 4 days
• A time saving of around 3 to 4 months for concrete, depending on the quality – tiles can be laid after just 2 months or so (as opposed to 6 months)
