Description Ardex Rapidlay Membrane is a specially coated and patterned fibreglass reinforced sheet underlay designed to overcome the problems sometimes encountered in laying floorcoverings, particularly sheet vinyl flooring, over new or old sub-floors in domestic and light commercial areas. Ardex Rapidlay Membrane can be laid over a variety of surfaces, such as old sub-floors, vinyl flooring, ceramic tiling, sheet metal, sub-floors contaminated with oil or paint, or damp sub-floors. It can also be used over asphalt sub-floors. Product Features • Provides a continuous base which is stable and resistant to damp • Cuts down laying time as there is no need to wait for the normal subfloor drying times • Dimensionally stable • Quick installation can be achieved as it is a sheet system • Allows for a new temporary floor to be laid over an existing floor (without potential adhesive damage on uplifting) • Low VOC and solvent free product Use: Ardex Rapidlay Membrane can be used on screed or concrete substrates where construction moisture has not fully dried out (max. 5% moisture content, 92% RH), also on anhydrite screeds with a maximum of 2% moisture content. (carbide method). Ardex Rapidlay Membrane can be used in areas where sub-floors have been exposed to water spillage, and old sub-floors which do not contain a fully functioning damp proof membrane. It can also be used over old, soundly fixed flooring when a temporary covering is to be applied. (without adhesive). Ardex Rapidlay Membrane is suitable for use on heated concrete or cement/sand screeds up to 27ºC maximum temperature. Ardex Rapidlay Membrane should NOT be used in: • Areas that are subjected to heavy wheeled traffic such as forklift or pallet trucks, chair castors, etc. • On timber bases that are not adequately ventilated. • On sub-floors that are subject to hydrostatic pressure. • On sub-floors which contain an effective damp proof membrane, but exceed a relative humidity of 97% and on sub-floors with no damp proof membrane and a relative humidity above 92%. • On magnesite or composite floors, biologically sensitive areas, or where floorings must be fully adhered, such as prisons.
