BATHROOM DESIGN & BUILD
I was searching tonight for a better option to uncoupling membranes and stumbled upon this product from Noble Company called Noble EZ. This photo from Tiger Mountain Tile showing a typical installation.

I read up on the product on Tiger Mountain's web page and found the blog post very well written and eye opening. Who knew there are no rules or guidelines for uncoupling membranes. With all the chatter about Ditra, Spider Web and Strata Mat by so many it's nice to see another pro looking for a better option.
I love Noble's products. I'm a little miffed I'm hearing about it third person but .... who cares.
Noble Company's review of the membrane lists this:
"Protects interior installations of thin-set tile from cracking. EZ relieves the stress caused by lateral movement in the substrate. Also helps preserve the tile patterns by bridging control joints. Designed for resitential use only." *

Features & Benefits
I wonder if there are any restrictions on thin-set like with Schluter's Ditra and Ditra XL. I have to say I don't like the spec about setting and tiling the same day. Personally I think this is a mistake.
