LATICRETE®, Bethany, Conn., introduces its enhanced NXT™ Skim fast-drying, premium-quality underlayment.
The solution’s improved formula holds more water, resulting in a creamier consistency for a smoother application and sleeker finish, as well as an extended pot life and easier troweling.
NXT Skim can be applied from skim depth to 1″ (25 mm) and the finished flooring can be installed as soon as 20 minutes after application. Suitable substrates (interior use only) include stone, tile, concrete, exterior glue plywood, cement mortar beds and cement backer boards.
“When re-formulating NXT Skim, we listened to customer feedback and adjusted accordingly to improve contractor efficiency. Its rapid-setting properties and ease of use make it an ideal solution for today’s schedule- and budget-driven projects without sacrificing quality,” said Corporate Marketing Manager Maria Oliveira.
The NXT Skim packaging has also been redesigned with a tin tie resealable feature that allows the product to be saved for additional uses – a first in skim coating – to minimize product waste and increase cost savings for the installer.
“Thanks to the innovative, convenient packaging of NXT Skim, contractors no longer have to waste unused product and can simply reseal the bag for later use, saving time and money. Additionally, the plastic, cube style container provides a more secure base on the jobsite and for later storage,” added Oliveira.
Designed to meet UL GREENGUARD certification standards for low chemical emissions, the new NXT Skim can be utilized at high-profile jobsites, including hospitals and schools.
