Proflex manufactures state-of-the-art crack isolation, waterproofing, and sound-reduction membranes. The membranes are specially designed to be used under thinset and mudset mortars and adhesives. Proflex membranes are ideal for interior and exterior applications of finished flooring, including ceramic tile, stone, and brick, and for interior applications of wood and other flooring. Proflex membranes bridge cracks in the substrate and are guaranteed to eliminate the transfer of cracks up to 3/8” wide to the finished flooring. Used primarily in high rise residences we suggest consulting with any association for approval prior to it's use. The cost of proflex will vary widely but a typical 100sq roll of 90mil can cost up to $209.00

Cork is commonly used for sound control in high rise condominiums or apartments. Often it is glued down to concrete with the use of adhesives. In most cases 1/4" cork is suitable for sound control in condominiums or apartments, but will vary everywhere. We suggest a thorough investigation of what the individual building by laws state if considering such a project. Underlayment comes in sheets approximately 4' x 6' or by rolls generally 400 square feet(SF). Costs for 1/4" cork material will vary widely from one region to another but a good guesstimate is $1.30 per square foot. Adhesive costs will run in the .50 to .75 SF range, all costs to be used as a general guide only.
Cost for proflex will vary widely but a 100sq$1.30 per square foot.
