Protecto Wrap Flex Deck, 30" X 100'

Protecto Wrap Flex Deck is a 40 mil thick reinforced peel & stick sheet membrane specifically designed for use in interior applications under thin-set floor tile installations of ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tile as a stress relieving material in conjunction with thin-set methods. The flexible membrane has the strength to withstand horizontal structural movement and
concrete shrinkage cracks up to 3/8” without transferring the stress load to the tile.

Flex Deck provides an economical solution for preventing unsightly reflective cracks from surfacing in tile floor finishes by expanding and contracting with shrinkage cracks. Areas of application include concrete slabs, plywood, pre-cast floor panels, gypcrete, OSB, radiant heated floors, ceramic tile, terrazzo, marble, slate, stone, leveling and patching compounds, VCT, VAT and vinyl floors. Installations requiring more than 3/8” of thin-set mortar need to be raised with a self leveling compound or a pre-mortar bed and allowed to cure prior to installation of Flex Deck. Use latex modified thin-set mortar to install tile over Flex Deck.

Flex Deck is available in 30” wide x 100’ rolls (250 sq ft). Primer is required to prepare the substrate prior to installation. Use Protecto Wrap #6000 Primer. The #6000 Primer is available in a 1gallon bottle in a concentrate. Mix 2 gallons of water with 1 gallon of concentrate for 500 to 600 sq ft of coverage depending on the porosity of the substrate.

Limitations–Flex Deck is not intended for use over concrete floors when hydrostatic head pressure or excessive moisture vapor emission transfer (3 to 4 lb max) is present. It is not recommended for use where horizontal floor movement is greater than 3/8”. It is not intended to cover cracks larger than 3/8” wide or be used over expansion or other forms of movement joints. For installations over plywood,
please refer to TCA Handbook F147-05. For expansion and movement joints in the tile, please refer to TCA Handbook EJ171-05. Do not use with solvent based products.
