STRATA_MAT XT

STRATA_MAT™ XT is designed specifically for ceramic tile and dimension stone installations serving as an uncoupling layer and vapor management layer that accommodates moisture from beneath the tile covering. STRATA_MAT XT performs all these functions while still providing the requisite support/load distribution for the tile and stone covering. At 5/16" (7.9 mm) thick STRATA_MAT XT helps to creates an even transition between typical ¼” to 3/8" (3 to 9 mm) thick tile and 3/4" (19 mm) thick hardwood flooring. STRATA_MAT XT will provide a faster drying of the mortar, allowing for a shorter time to grout when using both modified or unmodified mortars allowing you to use the appropriate mortar for the installation.

Features & Benefits

• Mortar Hydration Vents - creates a mechanical bond between the mat and adhesive mortar - allows the mortar to cure faster providing a stronger bond of tile for faster time to grout
• Allows for use of the appropriate mortar per industry standards.
• Provides vapor management
• Eliminates transmission of in plane substrate cracks of up to 1/8" (3 mm)
• Instant coverage verification· allows for installer to see mortar coverage underneath the mat during installation without having to lift and verify
• Allows for easier floor layout as chalk lines are easily visible on surface prior to tile installation
• Part of the LATICRETE® Lifetime System Warranty.
• Lightweight
• easy to carry and fast to install with standard tools
• Can be used under moisture sensitive stone
• Suitable for interior non-industrial vehicular traffic applications over concrete substrates
