Mapei MapeGaurd UM uncoupling Membrane Timelapse

SUBSCRIBE Learn how tile the right way Time lapse of the entire installation of a Tile floor using Mapei Mapeigaurd UM and a Large format tile. Mapegard UM is an uncoupling membrane, that can be used to waterproof a floor by applying Mapeguard ST sealing tape at the seams and at the floor to wall junction. In this video I explain how this tile underlayment works and how to install it on a plywood subfloor. A polymer modified thinset is used to install the uncoupling membrane to the plywood, the thinset must meet ANSI A 118.11 standards, Mapei Ultraflex 2 is such a thinset and is the one I used in this application. The tile installed on the mat was a large format tile, so I used Mapei Ultraflex LFT as my Mortar. In my opinion, an uncoupling membrane like Mapegard UM is far superior to a cement backer board, which has none of the benefits that Mapegaurd provides such as lightweight, waterproofing and vapor pressure-equalizing as well as crack suppression. It can also be installed on Young concrete and single-layer 3/4" plywood subfloors with joist spacing of up to 19.2". The design incorporates a surface mesh which is heat welded to the mat, which in conjunction with the cavity design of the mat, makes it easy to fill.
