Preparing for Tile
Schluter membranes work for waterproofing and uncoupling.
While the Atmosphere Design Build crew handles almost everything from framing to finish work, tile setting is one of the areas where it makes sense to bring in someone who sets tile day in and day out and has been doing it for years—especially with the expensive handmade Fireclay tile that will be installed. Before they start cutting tile, however, they address the tile substrate to waterproof the wet areas and control movement to protect tile and grout.
