Maybe you've heard of 5 mil vapour barrier or mils used as a rating for strength & thickness in garbage bags. 30 mils is about 3/4mm.

The various Schluter membranes are all great products, the only drawback is the exorbitant price you pay for the stuff.
Thanks for the chart, that helps alot. Wasnt sure if I was going to be able to afford to do the shower if it had to be an inch thick. The stuffs $80 a bucket. Thanks everyone.
