ARDEX RAPIDLAY Membrane

A specially coated and patterned fibreglass reinforced sheet underlay designed to overcome the problems sometimes encountered in laying floor coverings, particularly sheet vinyl flooring, over new or old sub-floors in domestic and light commercial areas.

Features and benefits:

• It provides a continuous base which is stable and resistant to damp.
• It cuts down laying time as there is no need to wait for the normal subfloor drying times.
• It is dimensionally stable.
• Quick installation can be achieved as it is a sheet system.
• Allows for a new temporary floor to be laid over an existing floor (without potential adhesive damage on uplifting).
• Low VOC and solvent free product.

Rapidlay Membrane should not be used in:

• Areas that are subjected to heavy wheeled traffic such as forklift or pallet trucks, chair castors etc.
• On timber bases that are not adequately ventilated.
• On sub-floors that are subject to hydrostatic pressure.
• On sub-floors which contain an effective damp proof membrane, but exceed a relative humidity of 97% and on sub-floors with no damp proof membrane and a relative humidity above 92%.
• On magnesite or composite floors.
• Biologically sensitive areas, or where floorings must be fully adhered, such as prisons.
