FloFX NoFlo™ is a thinset-applied, sheet waterproofing membrane designed for tile showers and wet areas. It is widely regarded in the trade for being one of the thinnest and most pliable membranes on the market, making it particularly popular for professional installers who want to avoid the "bulky" corners and build-up often seen with thicker systems.

Here is a breakdown of what makes it unique:

Key Features

• Ultra-Thin Profile: It is roughly 200 microns thick. This thinness allows for flatter seams and less build-up at overlaps, which makes laying tile (especially small mosaics) much easier.
  +1

• Steam Shower Rated: It has a very low perm rating (0.05 perms), meaning it is highly resistant to vapor transmission and is suitable for continuous-use steam showers.

• Broad Compatibility: Unlike some systems that require brand-specific mortars, NoFlo is compatible with most premium modified and non-modified thinset mortars.

• High Pliability: It is designed to be easy to fold and crease, which is a major advantage when detailing tight corners or wrapping over curbs.

The FloFX System

While the membrane can be used on its own, it is part of a larger ecosystem that includes:

• NoFlo Banding & Corners: Pre-formed 135° and 90° inside/outside corners and 5" wide banding for seams.

• Bond Flange Kits: FloFX is perhaps best known for its Universal Bond Flange, which allows you to convert a traditional 3-piece clamping drain into a modern bonded-membrane system without tearing out the plumbing.

• Pipe & Valve Seals: Gaskets designed to seal around shower heads and mixing valves.

Why Installers Use It

Pros often choose FloFX when they want the reliability of a sheet membrane but hate the "bunching" that occurs in corners with thicker brands like Kerdi. It is also a "system-neutral" favorite—many installers mix the FloFX drain and membrane with other substrates like dry-pack mortar beds or various foam boards because of its high mortar compatibility.
