What kinds of waterproof membranes can I use over the top of radiant in floor heat?

radsustainability1 | Posted in Green Products and Materials on

I’m currently working on a remodel of small dorm building at The Evergreen State College in Olympia WA. We’re planning on installing STEP warmfloor radiant heat, but we have some concerns about installing it in the bathrooms.

Is there a kind of membrane we can install over the heating element, under either laminate or tile that will protect the element from water damage but can also withstand the heat?
