How many packages of fixing strips do I need?
DCM-PRO Cable
DCM-PRO cable can be laid with the DCM-PRO membrane or with fixing strips. The DCM-PRO membrane offers uncoupling and anti-fracture benefits as well as decreases installation time. Should you prefer to instal the cable with fixing strips (seen below in yellow), the guide* below will help you determine how many packages of fixing strips you need for each cable size.
*suggested amounts and may vary on a per-project basis
