Description

The Exactamat underlayment system is a revolutionary one-step solution that protects tiled surfaces from cracks and failures caused by substrate movement. Lightweight, flexible, and easy to install, this advanced matting system absorbs multidirectional stresses, making it ideal for both residential and commercial tiling projects. Whether you’re tiling over cracked concrete, newly poured screed, or underfloor heating systems, Exactamat ensures a durable and flawless finish.

Why Choose Exactamat?

1. Advanced Stress Absorption

Exactamat acts as a decoupling layer, separating the tiled surface from the substrate to prevent cracks, chips, and failures caused by movement. Its soft and flexible low-density polyethylene (LDPE) construction effectively absorbs multidirectional stresses, ensuring long-lasting durability for tiled floors.

2. Versatile Substrate Compatibility

This innovative matting can be used on a variety of sound substrates, including:

  • Cracked Concrete: Bridges gaps to provide a smooth, stable surface for tiling.
  • Timber Floors: Absorbs natural movement to protect the tiled surface.
  • Underfloor Heating Systems: Withstands thermal fluctuations without compromising tile integrity.
  • Newly Poured Screed: Allows for tiling as soon as the screed is walkable, speeding up project timelines.

3. Space-Saving Design

With a thickness of just 3mm, Exactamat offers an ultra-slim profile, minimizing height build-up and ensuring seamless integration with adjacent flooring materials. This feature makes it an excellent choice for projects where height restrictions are a concern.

4. Dimpled Innovation for Efficiency

Exactamat’s dimpled design reduces the amount of adhesive required while preventing void spaces under the tiles. This unique feature not only saves on material costs but also accelerates installation times, making it a favourite among professional tilers and DIY enthusiasts alike.

5. Waterproof Protection

Exactamat creates a waterproof layer below the tiled surface, providing added protection in moisture-prone areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and wet rooms. This ensures the longevity and performance of tiled installations in high-humidity environments.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Installing Exactamat is straightforward and ensures a professional finish. Follow these steps for optimal results:

Step 1: Prepare the Substrate

  • Remove dust, dirt, and other contaminants.
  • Ensure the substrate is clean, flat, and level.
  • For absorbent substrates, apply a suitable primer to enhance adhesion.

Step 2: Cut and Position the Matting

  • Roll out Exactamat and cut it to size using a utility knife or scissors.
  • Use a dry layout to confirm the positioning before applying adhesive.

Step 3: Apply Adhesive and Fix the Matting

  • Spread a high-quality, modified adhesive using a 4mm or 6mm notched trowel.
  • Position the matting over the adhesive, ensuring the dimpled side faces up.
  • Press the matting into place using a grout float to achieve full contact with the adhesive. Avoid placing heavy loads on the matting during the drying process.

Step 4: Apply Tile Adhesive and Lay Tiles

  • Clean and dry the surface of the matting.
  • Apply a thin layer of tile adhesive and begin laying tiles using the thin-bed method.
  • Ensure consistent grout lines with tile spacers for a professional finish.
