Abstract
An uncoupling mat includes a flexible plastic layer (2) made of plastic film with structuring that defines indentations (6) provided with undercuts (5) on a first, top side (4) and cavities (8) positioned between the indentations (6) on an opposite second, bottom side (7). A fleece or fabric (3) is securely connected to the bottom side (7) and covers the cavities (8). A cross-section of the indentations (6) in at least some corner regions (10) increases from the bottom side (7) toward the top side (4).
