Our Company

Family owned and operated for more than 35 years, National Applied Construction (NAC) Products, Inc. solves the industry’s most prevalent problems with innovative products and quality workmanship.

Our Products

In 1983, NAC founder Tom Duve noticed the American tile industry’s need for reliable solutions to cracked tile within commercial and residential applications. This led to the pioneering of a new membrane system that solved an age-old problem and allowed for contractors to confidently install ceramic surface stone with a guarantee that the product wouldn’t crack due to substrate expansion and contraction. That groundbreaking product was none other than the Elastomeric Crack Bridging (ECB®) anti-fracture membrane.


ECB marked just the beginning of NAC’s innovative capabilities. ECB’s unique technology literally secured the path toward innovations in crack isolation, waterproofing and sound control that still distinguish NAC from the competition today. Super SAM® 125 also marked a turning point for the company. Super SAM 125 is a revolutionary sound control system that achieves supreme impact and airborne sound ratings and continues to be the most trusted membrane for use in high rise, residential and commercial units.

Our Promise

Founded and operated in Akron, Ohio (also known as the “City of Invention”) we are committed to our values as an American company. All of our products are produced in the United States, even down to the raw materials. We are proud to produce high-performance products for our customers and the flooring industry, having expanded to bring secure flooring all around the world.

Clean Air GOLD Certification of Building Products

All NAC sheet membranes, NAC TAC II primer and SubSeal® Liquid Waterproofing Membrane have achieved certification by the independent laboratory, Intertek and conform to California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Standard Method v1.2: Private Office, School Classroom, and Single-Family Residence.


Achieving the “Pass” disposition indicates the products did not exceed the VOC limit for the private office, school classroom and single-family residence scenarios. The emissions testing was performed over a period of 14 days for Super SAM® 125, SubSeal Liquid and NAC TAC II primer. ECB®, ECB® 75, Strataflex® and SAM® 3 membranes, have subsequently been included into this certification because of their proprietary composition. The products were tested based on the most stringent modeling scenario.
