Self Adhesive Underlay
Gripset XpressLay is a next-generation high strength reinforced self-adhesive PVC sheet that offers unique properties for waterproofing wet area applications, internal and external. At less than 1mm film thickness, XpressLay provides tensile strength properties of 13MPa offering standalone benefits and advantages for wet area waterproofing. The innovative self-adhesive properties of XpressLay enable the sheet to be applied directly over substrates and removed or re-positioned, without compromising the bond to surfaces or performance of the shear adhesion strength over floor surfaces.
One of the primary features of XpressLay is that while providing high-performance waterproofing and vapour barrier properties, the tensile strength properties enable it to perform as a decoupling layer for tile beds, withstanding floor movement strains.
- Rapid Self Adhesive Application
- Able to bond and remove without surface adhesion compromise
- 3 in 1 Waterproof, Anti-Fracture and De-Coupling system
- XpressLay PVC core provides outstanding resistance to vibration, movement and flexing
