G-FLEX DECOUPLING FILM
G-FLEX is an anti-fracture waterproof decoupling sheet that is made up of a polyethylene membrane attached to a geotextile sheet, leaving free air nodules in the shape of circumferences between them. Thanks to this, the result of the coating of ceramic tiles and natural stone exterior and interior is improved, highlighting the efficiency when installed on critical substrates; cracked, with a lot of movement or with possible vapor stresses due to residual humidity.
With a total thickness of only 3 mm, G-Flex not only makes the pavement waterproof, but also offsets vapor pressure, manages moisture rising through the installation and provides additional load resistance.
One of the highlights of the G-FLEX sheet is that it reduces construction times since the waterproofing and the laying of the coating are without delay, that is, the installation is immediately passable.

HOW IS THE G-FLEX UNCOUPLING FORMED?
GURU’s G-FLEX uncoupling sheet is formed by ring-shaped reliefs. The reverse side of the sheet is covered by a geotextile sheet that provides a perfect grip to the C2 tile adhesive cement while allowing water vapor to pass through the ducts of the rings, thus avoiding problems with humidity that may appear in the substrate.
- Desolidarization.
- 100% waterproof.
- Steam pressure compensation.
- Load distribution.
- Total adhesion of the assembly.

PROPERTIES AND USES OF THE G-FLEX® DECOUPLING FILM
1. De-solidarity
The configuration and distribution of the nodules allows the articulation of deformations in all directions, maintaining the punctual distribution of the loads and damping the stress due to horizontal movements and deflection.
2. Steam and humidity management
The arrangement of the nodules forms a channeling network that allows vapor pressure to circulate and dissipate, helping to dry up excess moisture.
3. Decoupling
The HDPE sheet ensures the physical separation between the support and the coating.
4. Better heat distribution
In the case of installation with underfloor heating, the channeling network makes it easier for the heat to be distributed more quickly and evenly.
5. Load sharing capacity
When installing ceramic tiles or natural stone pavements on the G-Flex sheet, the cavities of the nodules are filled with glue cement, forming small pillars that, when harden, support the loads and transfer them from the coating to the firm support distributed at multiple points.
6. Waterproofing
G-Flex installations can also be done for waterproofing. As the HDPE polyethylene sheet is totally waterproof, it is necessary to seal the joints between sheets and the deliveries between the floor and the wall with a WATER-STOP WS BAND band glued with polymeric waterproof cement.
