Behind every stylish AKW wet room, there’s practical innovation. FormSafe® is our self-adhesive, waterproof membrane that enables ceramic tiles and natural stone to be applied to timber and solid wet room floors.

It’s quick and easy to apply and offers a lifetime of reliable performance. It’s equally suitable for use with TuffForm® and TriForm®, bringing together former, tanking and waste in a complete, fully compliant wet floor solution.

FormSafe® is a dry tanking kit that can be walked on and tiled over instantly, rather than having to wait 24 hours for it to cure, so you can fit within a day. FormSafe® is the essential solution for long-lasting, reliable waterproof tanking.

Don’t forget that it’s all backed up by a lifetime guarantee†, dedicated technical support and free delivery.
