3 Product Description
A flexible, lightweight, high-polymer adhesive for tile and stone
installation. Designed to resist intermittent water exposure and has
33% less shrinkage than traditional adhesives, as well as sag
resistance. Ideal for small format for ceramic, mosaic, quarry, pavers,
gauged slate, porcelain and gauged stone tile installations on walls,
floors or countertops. Recommended for tile up to 12" (30.5 cm) on
any side. Can be used with tile up to 15" (38.1 cm) on any side but dry
time significantly increases. For tile with any side greater than 15"
(38.1 cm) CUSTOM recommends using a polymer modified cement
mortar specifically for large format tile.
