Experience Unmatched Crack Isolation with Merkrete Fracture Guard
Merkrete Fracture Guard is a single-component, mold-resistant crack isolation membrane that offers superior protection for your tile installations. Crafted from modified latex, this membrane creates a monolithic surface with exceptional elongation properties. Its thin section ensures that cracks from the substrate do not transfer to the finished ceramic, porcelain, or stone tile finish.
Thanks to its semifluid state, Merkrete Fracture Guard seamlessly conforms to any form or irregular shape. It exceeds ANSI A118.12 standards and is ideal for both residential and commercial applications. When installed as per the manufacturer's specifications, Fracture Guard effectively inhibits shrinkage and nonstructural cracks caused by horizontal movement in tile and stone finishes.
This versatile crack isolation membrane is suitable for a wide range of substrates, including brick masonry, cement backer board, cement mortar beds, cement plaster, cement terrazzo, ceramic tile and stone, concrete, concrete masonry, exterior-grade plywood, gypsum wallboard, gypsum mortar bed, and oriented strand board.
Merkrete Fracture Guard provides impressive coverage, with a 1-gallon unit covering approximately 50 sq. ft., and a 3.5-gallon unit covering approximately 175 sq. ft.
Upgrade your tile projects with the unmatched performance of Merkrete Fracture Guard and enjoy a durable, long-lasting finish that is resistant to cracks and mold.
