The ARDEX DS 101 is a groundbreaking uncoupling mat designed to provide unparalleled protection for floor tiling systems. This innovative product is engineered to shield floor tiles from the damages typically caused by problematic substrates, ensuring a long-lasting and durable finish.
One of the standout features of the ARDEX DS 101 is its efficiency in adhesive usage. It requires 20% less adhesive compared to traditional cavity mats, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for tiling projects. Moreover, its fast-track installation capability allows for immediate tiling, significantly reducing project timelines.
Weighing in at a mere 1mm thick, the ARDEX DS 101 is both lightweight and incredibly easy to cut and install.

The ARDEX DS 101 is specifically designed to accommodate lateral movement in tile installations, which is essential for floors that experience limited movement. When used in conjunction with recommended ARDEX flexible cementitious or flooring adhesives, it effectively mitigates tension stresses between the substrate and the flooring. This capability is crucial in preventing reflective cracking caused by shrinkage, board joints, and lateral movement.
This mat can be stuck down by a flexible tile adhesive from ARDEX or if the substrate conditions are correct we can use a flooring adhesive like ARDEX Universal 2365 .
