Defining Uncoupling & its importance to the Tile Industry
Monday, March 30, 2026
1:30 PM - 2:00 PM PDT
Location: Booth 6014
Uncoupling technology has transformed tile installations by preventing stress transfer between the substrate and tile layer. This session will define uncoupling, explain its role in protecting a tile assembly and explore additional added benefits such as sound control, waterproofing, and load support. Attendees will also be introduced to Structured Strand Membranes, an innovative evolution in uncoupling technology that delivers superior shear strength, enhanced adhesion and dimensional stability. Learn how these membranes simplify installation while improving long term performance for both residential and commercial projects.
