I seriously considered putting this in, but I ultimately put down the extra layer of 1/2" plywood with full wood glue coverage and standard screw spacing because it's "tried and true" and I'm putting in natural gauged slate. But I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes on the rest of this build and might use it on the other 1-1/2 bathrooms I have left to remodel. Would love to see a mock up comparing traditional TCNA install vs this and deflection tests with a lot of weight on it!
@@BathroomRemodelingTeacher They probably are doing liability self-protection there, rather than engineering. A guy could get a piece of plywood and a scrap of the mat, and some speaker wire, and some floor leveler, and test the assembly I have suggested. I bet it would stand up to a beating without the wire being disturbed.
@@kevinhornbuckle At Blanke, we want to ensure you have all the information needed to properly install our products. Here are some important steps to follow: Prep Work: Before running any wires, embed them with your self-leveler. Prime the Subfloor: Make sure to prime the subfloor as required for best bonding strength. Install Blanke Permat: After priming, install Blanke Permat directly on top with a premium modified Mortar. The design of Blanke Permat allows the mortar to anchor itself through all three layers, providing high point load strength and optimal performance. Remember, always complete the prep work before installing Blanke Permat. Blanke Permat should always be installed directly under the tile, with one exception: if waterproofing is needed, fill in the membrane and then install a waterproofing membrane like Blanke Aquashield on top of it. If you have any questions, we are here to help at any time.
This thing actually has no size limit on tile, so you can put smaller stuff unlike the other ones where the limit is 2x2. I actually never had any membrane fail on me, and used almost all brands out there. Actually I’ve demolished tile where it was set directly to plywood or original substrate on homes built in the 1800’s and it was perfectly fine.
What’s the installed thickness before tile? And how does the strength compare to thinsetting and screwing 1/4 cement board (prob 3/8 final thickness for that method)?

This is a great invention. You could hot glue heating cable to it on whatever spacing you desire, and then pour floor leveler over it.
Blanke actually says not to, but I agree probably no problem to really do that

You could use that to keep rabbits out of the veggie patch too!
What heat system over concrete do you use ?

You can actually get it on a roll 5ft wide I believe.
Why did you create so many seams? I'd think larger pieces would be stronger, no?
Comes in 2ft x 3ft sheets
I buy it on a roll 5 ft wide

ty, put something down instead directly on concrete
