SURREY, BC (June 30, 2009) - Duradek Ultra TILEDEK is already quickly proving itself as one of the leading products for waterproof roofing and crack isolation membranes under exterior tile or slate. Duradek Ultra TILEDEK is a outdoor anti-fracture roofing membrane designed for use under exterior tile decks and roofs. Virtually identical to Duradek Ultra, TILEDEK is an approved roofing membrane with a fabric laminated to its topside. The tiles can then bonded securely to the fabric-covered membrane with thinset mortar. Exterior tile has often been the source of contractor headaches resulting from improper waterproofing and cracking tiles. Since tile and grout alone are not waterproof, tile contractors rely on other products to waterproof the structure. Oftentimes the chosen product may not have actual roofing approvals; it may be too soft, allowing deflection which can crack the tiles or the warranty may be void if another product is placed overtop.
