There are various advantages to decoupling wall or floor coverings, e.g. made of ceramic or natural stone, from the substrate by installing a plastic sheet with laminated fleece as a separating layer. Tensions and movements of the substrate caused by temperature fluctuations or too rapid dehydration can be bridged by the decoupling membranes. They prevent the transport of the stresses into the top layer. Furthermore, in the case of building renovation, installation on poorly adhering and critical substrates such as old ceramic or wooden floors is possible without any problems.

Depending on their sd value, many decoupling membranes can also be used as sealing membranes: as a moisture barrier on floor slabs in contact with the ground, as a vapor barrier on floor slabs above rooms subject to high building loads, or as a sealing layer outdoors under tiled balconies and terraces. In addition to these multifunctional membranes, CaPlast also develops special sealing membranes for damp rooms such as bathrooms and showers or kitchens.

In connection with the development of customized waterproofing membranes as well as deep-drawn corners and sealing collars, we naturally take care of the testing for AIV according to ETAG 022 as well as the issuance of the general building inspection test certificates (AbP).

For all CaPlast sealing membranes, we offer the appropriate system accessories such as sealing tapes for interior and exterior applications, interior and exterior corners, and sealing collars. Expansion zone sleeves can be produced in all external dimensions and geometries, with any expansion zone size and any punching diameter inside, in accordance with DIN. Sealing tapes made of TPE, LDPE and PE/PP, also standard self-adhesive or with butyl, complete the system accessories.
