Nova-Fiber is a thin, flexible non-woven fabric designed for use with any brand of latex based waterproofing membranes used in bathrooms and showers.
The fabric is used to reinforce areas of weakness such as:
Inside and outside corners of showers
Seams between tile backer boards Hairline
Cracks in the substrate
Around Shower Niches Transitions between different materials
Note: This product is not meant to be embedded directly into thinset with a joint knife. After applying the liquid waterproofing to the substrate with a brush, you press the Nova-Fiber into it, and brush on another coat on top. Once the membrane dries, then you can apply thinset over it and attach the tiles.
