Impey Tilesafe 5m/10m Tanking Kit

Product Overview

Impey Tilesafe® tanking membrane has been designed to provide an instant heavy-duty watertight barrier to your wetroom - preventing leaks and providing complete peace of mind.

How does it work?
Waterproofing or 'tanking' a wetroom involves applying a waterproof layer to the floor and walls of the shower zone because no matter how well the tiles have been fixed, over time water will always find a way through the tiles/grout which can lead to leaks and costly repairs.

Beware of the load weights on plaster, plasterboard walls when using large format
Impey Tilesafe® is a flexible rubberised self-adhesive membrane sheet that incorporates a tiling mesh that comes on a roll and once applied there is no curing time so it is possible fix the tiles the same day.

Available in 5m and 10m sizes complete with lifetime guarantee

Technical Details

How much will I need?

For complete peace of mind and a guaranteed leak-free wetroom Impey recommend that Impey Tilesafe® is applied over the entire floor of the wetroom.

Impey Tilesafe® should be applied to a minimum height of 75mm where the walls of the room meet the floor. In each kit you will receive: -

5m2 or 10m2 of Impey Tilesafe® tanking membrane
Bottle of Tilesafe® primer
Reinforcing tape
Tube of jointing compound
Block of Impey Tilesafe® putty
Preformed corners

Note: Because Impey Tilesafe® is a bitumen-based product it is only suitable for use with the Aquamat 100 undertile heating system. Other systems may run at higher temperatures and compromise the integrity of the tanking system.

What type of tile adhesive should be used?

Any proprietary flexible tile adhesive can be used with the Impey Tilesafe®

waterproofing system. Tile adhesive must be a single-part flexible cement based adhesive. Do NOT use a ready mix adhesive or epoxy based grout.
