INSTALLATION: Heavy-Duty Mortar

• LATICRETE International Inc., Bethany, Conn., introduce TRI-LITE ™, a lightweight, high-performance, tri-purpose mortar designed for large and heavy tile, thin-bed and wall installations.

TRI-LITE features excellent large and heavy tile (medium bed) performance and can be built up to ¾″ (19 mm) thick without shrinkage. TRI-LITE is available in 30 lb. (13.6 kg.) bags (grey and white) and is a component of the LATICRETE® 25-Year System Warranty, which provides single-source protection for everything from the substrate to the grout.

A 30 lb. (13.6 kg.) bag of TRI-LITE provides the same coverage as a 50 lb. (22.7 kg.) bag of traditional mortar, so it’s both easier to transport and easier to trowel. The cutting-edge product exceeds ANSI A118.15, A118.11 and the ISO 13007—C2TES1P1 classification.

“We mean it when we say this lightweight large and heavy tile mortar is versatile,” said Jonathan Scott, product manager for adhesives. “TRI-LITE™ is an ideal adhesive mortar for three of the most common tile and stone installations. This, combined with superior non-sag capability, an ultra-creamy consistency and unmatched workability, makes TRI-LITE the ‘go-to’ product for many installations.”
