Overview
DCM-PRO uses unique decoupling technology to protect tiled floors, offering a customisable under-floor heating (UFH) solution.
With quick and easy installation, the Peel-and-Stick membrane features a self-adhesive underside that attaches directly to the subfloor and eliminates the need for an adhesive layer, significantly reducing installation time. The system suits all floor types but has been specifically developed to help protect stone and tiled floor finishes from damage caused by seasonal temperature changes that can affect the sub-floor. The innovative decoupling membrane absorbs lateral subfloor movements, helping to prevent these stresses from reaching the tiled floor finish and causing it to crack.
How Does the Decoupling System Work?
The decoupling layer of the DCM-PRO membrane contracts and expands to deal with lateral movements in subfloors, preventing damage from occurring to tiled floor coverings. The self-adhesive layer stretches with expansion, while the decoupling layer contracts if the gap shrinks due to seasonal changes, protecting the floor surface from damage caused by lateral subfloor movement.
With an updated castellation design, DCM-PRO offers a quick and hassle-free installation of Warmup Underfloor Heating. The dimensions of the membrane are designed for convenient sizing so that 2m² of heating cable fits exactly 2m² of membrane. The spacing of the cable can, however, be adjusted to increase or decrease coverage and power, allowing for a personalised heated area layout. You don’t need any tools to install the system – simply position the heating cable by hand within the castellations of the membrane.
With an effective self-adhesive backing, Warmup’s DCM-PRO Peel-and-Stick membrane does not require any tile adhesive for it to be firmly attached to the subfloor. It can be rapidly installed by a qualified electrician or tiler and helps keep floor heights to a minimum.
DCM-PRO can be tiled directly onto, or it can be covered with a layer of self-levelling compound if used with any other floor finish that is certified for use with underfloor heating. This system features Warmup’s market-leading warranty for guaranteed performance.
For standard wattage projects, install with the DCM-PRO Blue Cable, which offers an output of between 112.5 -225W/m².
