CCL Wetrooms Launch

New Tilesure Waterproof

& Decoupling Membrane

Whilst the evolution of the
wetroom industry continues without
abatement, the fundamental key to
a successful wetroom remains the
same – an effective waterproofing
strategy. The growth in smarter,
greener technologies that have a
lower impact on the environmental
footprint can now offer alternative
waterproofing solutions to
housebuilders. In response to this,
CCL Wetrooms, the UK’s leading
wetroom specialist, have launched
Tilesure, a new Butyl Waterproofing and Decoupling Membrane, suitable for waterproofing wetroom floors on timber and solid
floors. Tilesure is an evolution of the market leading RIW Tilesafe bitumen-based membrane, which has been developed to
provide a comprehensive wetroom tanking solution whilst embracing cleaner, more environmental and sustainable development
practices. The new Tilesure membrane has superior decoupling properties of up to 12mm, ensuring that any movement in the
floor substrate is accommodated, thus preventing the grout and floor tiles from cracking.
Not only will Tilesure membrane bridge any tension across the substrate, but it creates a secure waterproof barrier that is
guaranteed to remain waterproof for the life of the wetroom tiles.
Tilesure is a 1.4mm self-adhesive waterproofing & decoupling membrane, containing a copolymer layer and polypropylene top
fleece. At 12mm, Tilesure offers greater decoupling properties than Tilesafe and thanks to butyl’s durability and improved
temperature tolerances, the membrane can be installed simply and easily on-site at all temperatures. http://www.ccl-wetrooms.co.uk

Hospital Corridor Walls

Protected By Yeoman Shield

A busy access corridor linking one

wing to another at a major Yorkshire

Hospital now benefits from a wall

protection system supplied and

installed by Yeoman Shield. 200mm

Protection Rail was fitted “flat-back”

to the wall on one side of the access

way with FalmouthEx Wall Protection

Panels installed below the rail. Rubber

stop ends/returns were applied to the

rail as added defence against heavily

laden trolleys and carts that may come

into contact.

The opposing wall was also offered

protection by the same Yeoman Shield

200mm Protection Rail this time

installed on 60mm “stand-off” allowing the system to become a supportive

rail for those who require it. The rail was again finished with the durable

hardwearing rubber accessories.

Matching 75 x 75 mm Corner Protection Angles were put on vulnerable

corners on both sides of the walkway completing a comprehensive wall

protection system that will help to reduce the time and money spent

on redecoration and repair over the lifecycle of the building. http://www.
