Why do I need a membrane for a my steam room?

TCNA - Technical Services: FAQ
While glazed tile is vapor impermeable, the grout is not. In fact cementitious grout easily transmits water and vapor. It is highly likely in a steam room assembly that vapor can pass through the grout.

Each manufacturer may specify a different application of the membrane. Always check with the manufacturer's instructions. See similar questions...
