The answer is clearly YES!
First, if the cracking below your tile is a serious structural crack, then there are other more serious issues you need to address. However, if the cracks in your substrate are from cracking that is typical in concrete substrates (examples include control joint movement/cracks, or controlled/uncontrolled shrinkage cracks, or other nonstructural cracks), then yes you have options.
Bostik has been a pioneer in waterproofing and anti-fracture/crack suppressent membranes since the late 1980's. For the Hydroment brand, Ultra-Set Advanced® and Gold™ can be used over the entire substrate or in strategic areas of the installation. For the Durabond® brand D-222 DuraGuard® Membrane can be used over he entire substrate or in strategic areas of the installation. Both membranes exceed ANSI 118.10 (LOAD BEARING, BONDED, WATERPROOF MEMBRANES FOR THIN-SET CERAMIC TILE AND DIMENSION STONE INSTALLATIONS).
and ANSI 118.12 (SPECIFICATION FOR CRACK ISOLATION FOR CERAMIC TILE AND STONE INSTALLATIONS)
- which can prevent cracks in your Ceramic Tile, Porcelain, Marble, or Granite Installations for cracking in substrates up to 1/8". As always, please refer to Product Literature and industry standards for complete product information and proper installation procedures.
