LATICRETE has developed an enhanced system of Adhered Veneer Installation products to improve upon
the traditional methods of installation that have demonstrated the tendency to fail through delamination and
premature corrosion of the structural reinforcing.
The LATICRETE system is similar to the traditional method with the difference that instead of utilizing standard
masonry cement mortars as in the past, polymer fortified adhesive mortar is used. LATICRETE Masonry
Veneer Mortar has been specifically designed to provide high bond strength, flexibility and durability. It is used
employing the same installation methods the installers have become accustomed to.
A further improvement is the inclusion of LATICRETE Hydro Ban™, a liquid applied breathable waterproof
membrane that prevents moisture intrusion in barrier wall constructs. This membrane is located outside of the
corrodible structural components of the wall offering maximum protection and longevity to the entire assembly.
In addition, the LATICRETE system allows for another option that increases quality and durability. Instead of
a field formed lath and plaster substrate, which is subject to great variability in workmanship (and therefore
quality), cement backer board is used. This substrate is typically used with tile and natural stone installations
and is "time and field proven" to provide great consistency and durability in installations. By replacing the lath
and plaster coat, this option also decreases the cost of the system at the same time as increasing performance
levels.
LATAPOXY® Waterproof Flashing Mortar and LATICRETE Latasil™ silicone sealant allow for a complete
installation that is protected by the LATICRETE System Warranty*.
