ThermoSphere Decoupling Membrane Mat – 5.5mm, Tile Floors, 195W or 130W/m², Waterproof, IP68, Lifetime Warranty

The ThermoSphere Membrane Mat is a heating, decoupling and waterproofing mat for tile and stone floors, designed to be used with the ThermoSphere Ultimate heating cable. The stud pattern locks the cable at two spacings: 2-stud = 195W/m² (wet rooms and high-demand areas) or 3-stud = 130W/m² (primary heating in well-insulated rooms). Just 5.5mm thick. Available as fleece-backed (all substrates) or self-adhesive (plywood/OSB — no adhesive required, saves 3mm). Decouples tiles from the subfloor to prevent cracking and delamination. Waterproofing properties ideal for wet rooms when combined with tanking. Lifetime warranty on registration.

Key Features
Dual Output — 195W/m² or 130W/m² via Cable Spacing
The stud pattern gives a choice of two outputs by varying cable spacing — no additional accessories required: 2 studs apart = 195W/m² (wet rooms and higher heat-loss spaces); 3 studs apart = 130W/m² (primary heating in well-insulated rooms).
195W/m² 2-stud130W/m² 3-stud
Decoupling — Protects Tiles Against Cracking and Delamination
The stud structure creates a decoupling layer that neutralises lateral stress from differential expansion and contraction between the tile finish and subfloor. Particularly important on timber, anhydrite screed and partially cured substrates. Rated extra heavy use in the Robinson Test.
Decoupling layerExtra heavy useAnti-crack
Waterproofing — Ideal for Wet Rooms When Tanked
The membrane layer provides waterproofing properties. Combined with ThermoSphere Ultimate cable (IP68) and a tanking kit, creates a fully waterproof wet room heating system without membrane cuts.
WaterproofingIP68 with UltimateWet room system
Fleece-Backed or Self-Adhesive — Two Options
Fleece-backed: adhered with flexible tile adhesive, suits all substrates. Self-adhesive: peel and stick to flat, clean plywood/OSB — strongest self-adhesive available in the UK, no curing time, saves 3mm floor height.
Fleece-backedSelf-adhesive optionNo curing time
Tile Directly Over — No Screed Required
Once the cable is in the studs, tiles are applied directly with flexible tile adhesive. No self-levelling compound needed. Vapour management channels allow moisture to escape from partially cured screeds — tiling can begin sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cable should I use with this membrane?
Designed for ThermoSphere Ultimate heating cable. Ultimate's in-line joint requires no membrane cuts, keeping waterproofing intact. Other cables can be used but may require cuts that compromise waterproofing.
Fleece-backed vs self-adhesive — which do I choose?
Fleece-backed suits any flat, firm substrate (concrete, screed, timber, tile backer) using flexible tile adhesive. Self-adhesive is peel-and-stick — for flat, clean, dry plywood or OSB only. Self-adhesive saves 3mm floor height and needs no curing time.
Can I tile directly over the system?
Yes — tiles go directly over cable and membrane with flexible tile adhesive. No levelling compound needed.
Is this suitable for floors other than tile?
No — the Membrane Mat is for tile and stone floors only. For wood, carpet or vinyl, use ThermoSphere Foil.
What outputs are available?
195W/m² at 2-stud spacing (wet rooms and high heat-loss). 130W/m² at 3-stud spacing (primary heating in well-insulated rooms).
