3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Whisper Mat CS is a peel-and-stick
Membrane that reduces impact and airborne
Sound transmissions and isolates finished
flooring from the transfer of subfloor cracks.
Accessory Materials
No. 6000 Primer - This high tack water based
primer is ideal for use on indoor applications.
Available as a concentrate, this primer can be
mixed at the jobsite with clean water or used in
its full concentrate form, depending on the
condition and porosity of the substrate.
Protecto Universal Water Based Primer - A high
tack water based primer.
Packaging
Whisper Mat CS is available in 36" × 40' (914
mm × 12.2 m) rolls
Coverage
Whisper Mat CS
Approximate 120 ft2 (13 m2) per roll
Shelf Life
Whisper Mat CS maintains optimum initial
adhesion to substrates when used within one
year from the date of manufacture.
Uses
• For sound control and crack isolation
protection on interior applications
under thin set ceramic and dimensional
stone tile installations
Advantages
• Reduces impact and airborne
sound transmissions
• Has the flexibility and strength to
withstand structural movement and
concrete shrinkage cracks up to 3/8”
without transferring stress load to
finished tile.
• Can be installed with radiant heat floor
systems
• Provides a Light Commercial Load
Rating per Robinson test
• Anti-microbial coating and non-wicking
fabric top makes an excellent bonding

surface for latex modified thin set
mortars
Suitable Substrates (Interior Use Only)
• Exterior glue plywood
• Mortar beds
• Concrete
• Cement backer board
• Cement terrazzo
• Ceramic tile and dimensional stone
• Gypcrete
• Stained concrete
• Radiant heated subfloors
• Metal
• Portland based leveling and patching
compounds
• Oriented strand board (OSB)
Limitations
• Do not apply over marine-grade
plywood, wood plank flooring, particle
board, Luan, Masonite, laminate or
fiberglass surfaces
• Not for use under agglomerate tile, LVT,
cement and epoxy floor topping
systems
• Not for use as a waterproofing
membrane - if waterproof installation is
required refer to Protecto LM Tech Data
Sheet
• Not for use on concrete floors when
hydrostatic head pressure or excessive
water vapor transmission exceeds 4lbs.
(tested by “Calcium Chloride Test”
method), where constant water vapor
transmission is present or a relative
humidity level of more than 75% of
slab, these conditions must be
mitigated prior to Whisper Mat CS
installation.
• Do not use under mortar beds thicker
than 3/8”, installations requiring more
than 3/8” of thin-set mortar need to be
raised with a self-leveling compound or
a pre-mortar bed and allowed to cure
prior to installation
• Do not use solvent-based sealants on or
around Whisper Mat CS as they may
deteriorate the product
• Do not install over wet primer
• Existing cracks larger than 3/16" should
be prepared with proper backing
material prior to installation of
membrane
• Not for use over expansion or structural
movement joints

5. INSTALLATION
Surface Preparation
Substrate must conform to ANSI A108.01
standards. Assemblies over which Whisper Mat
CS will be installed shall be in conformance with
the International Residential Code (IRC) for
residential applications, the International
Building Code (IBC) for commercial applications,
or applicable building codes.
Perimeter and field movement joints are to be
installed in accordance with TCNA Method
EJ171.
• Flooring and membrane must acclimate
to jobsite conditions before installation.
substrates must be dry, clean and free
of dirt, grease, wax, paint, oil or loose
foreign matter that would adversely
affect adhesion of the Whisper Mat CS.
Not for use on concrete floors when
hydrostatic head pressure or excessive
water vapor transmission exceeds 4lbs.
(tested by ASTM E1869 “Calcium
Chloride Test” method), where constant
water vapor transmission is present or
an RH level of more than 75% of slab,
these conditions must be mitigated
prior to Whisper Mat CS installation.
Priming
Always apply the Protecto Wrap No. 6000
Primer or Protecto Universal Water Based
Primer to the substrate and allow to dry
(approximately 30 minutes) before installing the
Whisper Mat CS to ensure a good bond.
Contractor must test for proper adhesion.
Layout
Unroll Whisper Mat CS with the release liner
side down. Precut the length slightly longer
than the distance to be covered. Trim
membrane to fit against walls and cutouts
within ¼”. Fold back half of the length of the roll
back over the other half of the material. Score
through the release liner only and take care not
to cut completely through membrane.
Application
Pull release liner away from membrane where
scored. As the release liner is pulled away,
hand-smooth the membrane to contact the
primed substrate. Keep the release liner
material close to the floor while pulling away;
this will allow for a more controlled application
of the membrane. Align membranes in a butt
joint fashion making sure not to overlap seams.
Note - There will be an immediate and
aggressive bond of the membrane to the
primed substrate. Realignment of the
membrane can be difficult once adherence to
the substrate begins.
After Whisper Mat CS is installed, ceramic,
porcelain or stone tiles can be installed in a 3/8”
or less bed of mortar that meets the ANSI 118.4
standards.
Follow the TCNA and ANSI installation
requirements through the remainder of the
installation.
