A Quiet Buffer Between Subfloor And Surface
Structured Decoupling Matting by Ca'Pietra from Hyperion Tiles, your official Ca'Pietra stockist.
Movement in a new subfloor has to go somewhere, and without an intermediate layer it travels straight into the tile bed. This polyethylene membrane sits between the two, its face moulded into a grid of square cavities cut in a dovetail profile that grips the bedding mortar above, while an anchoring fleece laminated to the underside takes hold of the substrate below. The result is a stable platform that accommodates movement rather than resisting it, lowering the risk of cracking across a tile or natural stone floor.
Specified for internal wall and floor work in homes and commercial interiors, it is particularly worth laying over a newly formed subfloor, where early movement is most likely. It is also a sound choice above underfloor heating, since the structure lets warmth travel efficiently up into the finished surface. Supplied as a one square metre roll at 3mm thick, so order enough to run the full area you are covering.

⚠ How To Use
- Before You Start: This matting is for internal use only, on walls and floors. It is well suited to new subfloors, so check yours is sound, clean and ready to receive the anchoring fleece.
- Application: Lay the matting fleece side down onto the prepared substrate so the underside bonds to it, leaving the dovetailed cavity grid facing up to receive the tile or stone.
- Coverage & Care: One roll covers a square metre at 3mm thick. Ca'Pietra notes it works well over underfloor heating, allowing heat to distribute efficiently through to the surface.
