Waterproofing
Peace of mind with the Impey Tilesafe®
TANKING Membrane.
Tilesafe® tanking membrane has been designed to
provide an instant
heavy-duty watertight barrier to your
wetroom – preventing leaks and
providing complete peace of mind.
How does it work?
Waterproofing or ‘tanking’ a wetroom involves applying
a waterproof layer
to the floor and walls of the shower
zone because no matter how well
the tiles have been fixed, over time water will always find a way through
the
tiles/grout which can lead to leaks and costly repairs.
Beware of the load weights on plaster, plasterboard walls
when using
large format
Tilesafe® is a flexible rubberised self-adhesive membrane sheet
that incorporates a tiling mesh that comes on a roll and once applied
there is no curing time so it is possible fix the tiles the same day.

How much will I need?
For complete peace of mind and a guaranteed leak-free
wetroom Impey recommend that Tilesafe® is applied
over the entire floor of the wetroom.
Tilesafe® should be applied to a minimum height of
75mm where the walls
of the room meet the floor.
Tilesafe® tanking membrane is available in either 5m2 or
10m2 kit forms
and in each kit you will receive: -
- 5m2 or 10m2 of Tilesafe® tanking membrane
- Bottle of Tilesafe® primer

TS2 = 5m kit
Note: Because Tilesafe® is a bitumen-based product it is only suitable
for use with the Devimat®100 undertile heating system. Other systems
may run at higher temperatures and compromise the integrity of the
tanking system.
What type of tile adhesive should be used?
Any proprietary flexible tile adhesive can be used with
the Tilesafe®
waterproofing system. Tile adhesive must
be a single-part flexible
cement based adhesive.
Do NOT use a ready mix adhesive or epoxy based grout.
Always refer to the manufacturers recommendations before use.
