GreenSeel Waterproofing and Anti-Fracture Membrane
GreenSeel is the latest and greatest in waterproofing membranes and tile underlayments, and is available on Installertools.com. GreenSeel is a ready to use liquid latex waterproofing and crack prevention membrane specifically formulated for use beneath commercial and residential tile and stone interior and exterior applications. GreenSeel’s elastomeric properties reduce the risk of substrate cracks transferring to finished tile and stone flooring while providing a continuous moisture barrier for wet areas. Waterproofing and Anti-fracture properties all in one!
As noted above, GreenSeel is ready to use. No mixing a liquid and powder like most roll on waterproofing membranes require. Simply open up a gallon of GreenSeel, roll, brush, or trowel it on your walls, floors, etc, and you are good to go. Also, unlike other roll on membranes, GreenSeel only requires one coat and does not need any tape for seams. How easy is that?
GreenSeel provides anti-fracture up to 1/8", completely stops mold and mildew growth, and protects your stone and tile installations. GreenSeel can be used in shower stalls and tub surrounds, swimming pools, steam rooms, spas and hot tubs, and a variety of other applications.
GreenSeel can be applied over concrete, cement backer board, block or brick masonry, mortar beds, exterior grade plywood, gypsum wall board & plaster, OSB, and gypcrete and lightweight concrete.
If going over one of the last four, exterior grade plywood, gypsum wall board and plaster, OSB, or gypcrete and lightweight concrete, GreenSeel should be used inside only.
As for coverage, GreenSeel covers 50 square feet per gallon as a waterproofing membrane, and 100 square feet per gallon as an anti-fracture tile underlayment.
