Laticrete Anti-Fracture Fabric Waterproofing Membrane 37.5 SqFt Roll 6x75'

Works great with red guard, aqua defense or other liquid elastomeric membranes. Straightforward and I can’t find in stores so online was the way to go. I tried buying from another seller who was sadly dealing with family issues. Anyway it’s good and I recommend for every shower build.

I got some fiberglass cloth directly from KBRS when waterproofing a shower with their system. I liked their cloth (not sure what brand they actually sell, they don't reveal that), but this cloth seems to be even better. Not so much better than I would say you should only use the Laticrete, but its a very uniform product and works very nicely in conjuntion with RedGard. When I create a barrier using fiberglass cloth and RedGard, I get a real sense of strength and impermeability. With RedGard alone, not so much. Attached photo shows my application where I covered the joints in the Wonderboard and all the screw holes. After this point, I covered 100% of the Wonderboard with RedGard alone.

***Edit*** decided to pull some up to see how well it allows the liquid membrane to permeate. I layed down a thick layer of liquid, layed the membrane and knifed it down, then added more liquid and knifed it down multiple times. The center of the membrane wasn't permeated. Then I took some of this product and put it in a container with the liquid membrane and let it soak, then went through the same procedure as listed above... same results... not permeating the center. So then I took this attempt and proceeded to layer it up to 60mil and see how well it holds up to stretch. I was able to stretch the finished product by hand and the cured, liquid membrane held up. But the cloth membrane ripped loose across the center and completely failed. This fabric is too thick and dense to allow full saturation and makes the center of the fabric the failure point. Even after leaving this stuff submerged in a bucket of liquid membrane for 2 days and knifing it down, the center does not permeate. It's good stuff but it's different than the last roll I bought a few years back. This time it's a lot thicker. It lays flatter and doesn't pocket as much underneath when applied. This definitely builds up thicker faster but it's permeability isn't as good as the previous rolls.

Product worked well with laticrete hydro barrier. It was slightly wider an thicker than i thought it would be. It adheres well to the seems but is slightly raised. Shouldn't interfere with keeping a smooth surface for tiling. Easy to cut with scissors to specified lengths. I used approx 16 in strips and overlapped them about an inch until i covered the entire seem. Used on hardibacker board in a shower/tub alcove.

Re doing a shower floor. It had some gaps greater than 1/8". So I used the fabric with Laticrete hydro ban & it fixed all the problems. Bends & molds easily & works very well with the hydro ban. Totally water proof & spans gaps & stress points to keep cracks from occurring after tile installation .

This tape is a part of water proofing package. I need one more to finish my job. This whole set which is Laticrete Waterproofing Membrane is the best on the market and worse every penny. Application very simple with brush and spackle and stick very well. 100% recommend for any bathroom waterproofing job.

I used this in combination with Durock and Redguard. Turned out great. This product seems to be the same thing as (or almost identical to) the tape used on the factory seams/finished edges of the Durock sheets. This Fabric/tape is slightly porous to Redguard, but I'd recommend applying a coat of Redguard with brush or roller under the Fabric directly on the Durock. Then place the Fabric and then apply a coat of Redguard on top.

This is the stuff to buy for waterproofing because it adheres so well to the cement board when used with the waterproofing glue/paint. I tried two other products when I ran out of this roll and they were a stiffer material that needed a lot of glue underneath it to stick to the cement board. After the stiffer material dried I realized I had air pockets beneath the surface. Air pockets are no good because the tile needs a solid surface to attach to. I had to cut into the air pocket to stick more paint/glue inside and then tape it down until it dried flat. I was only half way successful. The bad stuff was a 6" roll of yellow colored stuff that I got online and a 4" roll of pink stuff I bought a Menards that went with their hydro barrier type waterproofing product. This product feels like a lightweight foam material that is tough. It is so superior.

I loved how easy it was to use with waterproofing a shower. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to waterproof their showers before tiling.

Great product. Easy application

Sealed bathroom shower with product. Worked great

Could not find this stuff at local hardware stores. It was exactly what i needed for my shower build.

Redoing tub / shower enclosure and saw reference to this product on Youtube to help seal concrete board seams and corners. Product went on as designed although sealant I used dried quick so you have to work fast to get it to adhere to walls and corners. Disappointed in delivery though. Company appears to be only a few kilometres/miles from me yet had to pay $10.00 for Shipping and waited 15 days for it to arrive even though it said Order was received and shipped on same day. For local companies, there should be an option to pick up straight from supplier. 15 days waiting for something 5 km away??? 5 0ut of 5 for product; 2 out of 5 for delivery and cost of shipping.
