LATICRETE, Bethany, Conn., introduces LHT™ PLUS, a polymer-modified large and heavy tile mortar specifically formulated to provide a one-step installation for large format ceramic tile, porcelain tile and stone on floors.
In addition to withstanding the trials involved with installing large and heavy tile, LHT PLUS offers a smooth and creamy consistency for ease-of-use and can be built up to ¾” (19mm) thick without shrinkage. LHT PLUS also exceeds ANSI A118.11 requirements and can be used over Exterior Glue Plywood (EGP) without the use of an additive.
LHT PLUS offers a formulation that is easy to trowel and assures proper coverage on both the substrate and the tile or stone for interior and exterior floor applications. Other suitable substrates for LHT PLUS include concrete, mortar bed, ceramic tile and stone, cement terrazzo and concrete masonry.
“In recent years, we have witnessed the increasing popularity of large and heavy tiles, presenting new requirements and challenges to the tile and flooring industry,” said LATICRETE Senior Product Manager Jonathan Scott. “These larger materials demand a setting mortar like LHT PLUS that offers excellent adhesion for added support and reduced lippage.
“LATICRETE was founded on an innovative idea. Our engineers, scientists and product developers are always looking for new ways to help installers do their job easier.”
