In a thin-bed installation, NobleSeal TS is bonded to a substrate (like concrete, mortar bed, plywood, etc.). Tile can then be thin-set directly to the membrane with a latex (polymeric or acrylic) modified thin-set mortar. A mortar bed is not required, so the installation is lower in height and lighter than mortar bed methods. Thin-bed methods are generally preferred for barrier free showers. A summary of useful Noble products are below.
