The membrane is self-adhesive and comes on a roll. Once installed tiles can be applied immediately - there is no curing time.
Although particularly suited to floor applications FormSafe can also be applied to walls as an additional precaution. However, there is a maximum weight limit for wall mounted tiles when using FormSafe and this should not exceed 20kg/m2.
