Our Products

In 1983, NAC founder Tom Duve noticed the American tile industry’s need for reliable solutions to cracked tile within commercial and residential applications. This led to the pioneering of a new membrane system that solved an age-old problem and allowed for contractors to confidently install ceramic surface stone with a guarantee that the product wouldn’t crack due to substrate expansion and contraction. That groundbreaking product was none other than the Elastomeric Crack Bridging (ECB®) anti-fracture membrane.


ECB marked just the beginning of NAC’s innovative capabilities. ECB’s unique technology literally secured the path toward innovations in crack isolation, waterproofing and sound control that still distinguish NAC from the competition today. Super SAM® 125 also marked a turning point for the company. Super SAM 125 is a revolutionary sound control system that achieves supreme impact and airborne sound ratings and continues to be the most trusted membrane for use in high rise, residential and commercial units
