HydroBan vs Kerdi: Which is better?
I just received and email today via my Laticrete dealer that Laticrete's new Hydro Ban sheet membrane is 8 mils thick. I know all ready that Kerdi is 8mil's thick. Seems to me that these two players are in the same weight class and a head to head battle is in order.
If we can not arrange that - at least we can compare each side by side.... I'll make it out like a MMA event and score it like they do kinda in boxing or Mixed Martial Art Competetions.
Not sure how many rounds we will go. Maybe 10.....

I looked up the perm rating for HydroBan sheet membrane and found it listed at 0.06.
What I don't know is how can the Laticrete product have a perm rating of 0.06 and Kerdi one of 0.75 (the lower the number the better). For more on Commercial Steam Shower Requirements
NobleSeal TS (my preferred choice) is 30 mil thick and their updated perm rating is listed at 0.15.

I can make no sense of this data. I would assume that the various products are made slightly different but this is a big swing. Any ideas guys?
