| Another noticeable difference between Flexstone / Tufflex and other urethanes is that Flexstone goes on thick. In normal circumstances Tufflex is applied at a thickness of 90-115 mils. That’s over twice as thick as competing urethanes. In the world of waterproofing that’s the difference between comfort and thousands of dollars in potential damages. |
