UNCOUPLING MAT ATLAS T 100
- allows ceramic cladding to be laid without the need for mapping of substrate expansion joints
- allows for an independent expansion joint system
- allows large-format tiles to be installed without moving the threshold expansion joints
- for laying ceramic tiles on contaminated substrates with reduced adhesion
- significantly speeds up the installation of new ceramic coverings in a single room when the substrate is made up of different types of flooring
- makes it possible to create a uniform ceramic floor on adjacent subfloors with strongly varying thermal loads (e.g. with and without underfloor heating, highly sunny floor sections)
Product description
The uncoupling mat allows the ceramic or stone cladding to be completely separated from the existing substrate while maintaining its continuity and uniformity regardless of the size of the tiles being installed. It allows the expansion joints in the cladding to be moved beyond the existing substrate expansion system. The use of ATLAS T 100 UNCOUPLING MAT to separate the expansion joints of the ceramic cladding from the expansion joints in the existing substrate is shown in Technical Data Sheet.
The uncoupling mat allows the installation of continuous, homogeneous ceramic cladding of various formats, including large-format, on various types of difficult substrates without the need for removal in the following cases:
- rooms with different types of flooring, e.g. parquet and ceramic tiles,
- substrates with underfloor heating occurring in part of the room,
- contaminated substrates with reduced adhesion, e.g. adhesive and bitumen residues from parquet stripping, PVC flooring adhesives, linoleum adhesives, carpet adhesives, glued laminate adhesives, etc.
- weakened substrates with a layer of cement scale on the surface,
- substrates with shrinkage cracks (no vertical displacement),
- substrates in rooms with a complex geometry and expansion joints,
- substrates with shaped threshold expansion joints in transitions between rooms,
- installation of ceramic cladding on insufficiently seasoned substrates, with increased bulk moisture (< 6 %)
An example of the application of Atlas T 100 is shown in Figures 3 and 4.
For interior use, in residential, office and service areas with an assumed imposed load of up to 3.0 KN/m²

Properties
- ATLAS T 100 uncoupling mat is manufactured as a special pressed PVC mat laminated with a 1 m wide glass fibre mesh. The width of the mesh is 1.1 m, an overlap of 10 cm allows adjacent strips to be joined.
A ceramic or stone covering laid on ATLAS T 100 uncoupling mat works horizontally independently of the existing substrate - together with the mat it forms a self-supporting floating floor, not bound to the substrate. As a result, it can be laid on any non-deformable substrate with a surface layer such as varnished parquet, resin flooring, terrazzo, plank flooring, ceramic or stone cladding, OSB boards, dry screed.
For plank or OSB floors, make sure they are securely fastened to the substructure.
It is possible to lay ceramic and stone cladding of various types and sizes on a correctly laid mat, on a substrate that meets the above requirements- it is not recommended to lay ceramic or glass mosaic on a compensating mat.
The use of the uncoupling mat does not alter the width of the joints, which should be adapted to the size of the tiles and the assumed deformation of the substrate - the layout of the expansion joints (elastic filling of the joints) cannot be ignored and should be adapted to the layout and size of the tiles, it does not have to coincide in any way with the existing expansion joints of the substrate under the mat.
