For sound control and stress crack protection under ceramic tile, marble and hardwood floors.
WECU (pronounced “we see you”) is our economical and effective cork underlayment. We are proud of its flawless track record since its introduction in Florida in 1978 where tens of millions of square feet of WECU cork underlayment have been installed. A special preservative has been incorporated into the cork and binder mixture making WECU impenetrable to moisture. The density this process creates provides both effective sound control as well as stress crack protection. It is by far the most reliable cork underlayment on the market.
WECU is the economic and effective solution for sound control and stress crack prevention under ceramic tiles and hardwood floors.
WECU Crackless+
Provides superior isolation of ceramic tile, marble and stone from existing and future stress cracks.
After its introduction in the fall of 2001, Crackless+ has been gaining increasing popularity due to the following attributes:

Ease of Installation is assured by Crackless+’s small and very portable roll size, and the use of typical tile setting materials. No mixing, no waiting, no mess – an installers delight.
Low Profile is guaranteed by Crackless+’s uniform 3/64″ thickness, which will give protection over just existing cracks or offer valuable insurance for the entire floor.
