• excellent sound insulation;
• vapor permeability.

Each package of this material weighs about 50 kg, which corresponds to 0.038 m3.

We should also mention the possibility of creating an even layer during construction or repair. When finishing this material will never occur chips, bumps or cracks, unless the consumer made any mistakes in the preparation of the solution and its application. This quality should be considered a huge plus, as well as extremely high strength.Due to this, on top of the dried solution you can safely lay both artificial and natural stone.
