ARDEX SK 175 Waterproofing and Vapor Retarder for Tile and Stone Installations is a pliable, sheet-applied, adhered waterproofing and vapor retarder. ARDEX SK 175 is made of polyethylene and a high-performance nonwoven web that allows the membrane to be securely bonded with ARDEX mortars prior to tile or stone installation in areas requiring top-down waterproofing and a vapor retarder. Tile can be installed directly over ARDEX SK 175. ARDEX SK 175 has acceptable permeability for commercial steam showers and is ideal for swimming pools.
