INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR CERAMIC AND STONE TILE

MODIFIED THIN-SET MORTAR

SCHLUTER

Schluter ALL-SET

Ceramic and stone tiles are durable, easy

to maintain, and hygienic, representing

the ideal surface coverings. However,

the performance of any surface covering

depends on the installation method and

materials used. Schluter

-Systems offers

a variety of systems for tile installation,

including uncoupling and waterproofing

membranes, shower systems, and

building panels. Schluter

setting

materials are specifically formulated for

use with these systems to help ensure

successful tile installations in a wide

range of applications.

Application and Function

Schluter ALL-SET

is a specialized, modified

thin-set mortar for use as a bond coat within

tile assemblies that is optimized for use with

Schluter

membranes and boards. Schluter

ALL-SET

is smooth and creamy, as well as

easy to handle and spread. It is sag-resistant

and ideal for setting tile on both horizontal

and vertical surfaces. Schluter ALL-SET

is suitable for use with ceramic, porcelain,

and stone tile, including large and heavy

tile, in conjunction with Schluter

-Systems’

uncoupling and waterproofing membranes

(e.g., DITRA, DITRA-HEAT, KERDI, etc.),

the Schluter

-Shower System, and KERDI-

BOARD. Schluter ALL-SET

can be used

in both interior and exterior systems and is

available in both grey and white.

Material Properties and Areas of

Application

Schluter ALL-SET

is a mixture of cement,

sand, polymer and additives that sets and

gains strength through cement hydration

and polymer film formation when mixed with

water. It is engineered for use with Schluter

membranes and boards, including tile

installation. Schluter ALL-SET

is formulated

to set and gain strength in a timeframe that

fits typical installation practice even when

sandwiched between impervious substrates

and porcelain tile. Schluter ALL-SET

available in grey and white. Use the white

version for applications where the color of the

mortar affects the aesthetics of the installation

(e.g., light colored or translucent stone tile,

light colored grout). Schluter ALL-SET

meets

or exceeds the American National Standard

Specifications for Modified Dry-Set Cement

Mortar, ANSI A118.4T, the American National

Standard Specifications for Improved Modified

Dry-Set Cement Mortar, ANSI A118.15T, and

the American National Standard Specifications

for Exterior Glue Plywood Latex-Portland

Cement Mortar, A118.11.

Schluter ALL-SET

was evaluated according

to the "Standard Method for the Testing

and Evaluation of Volatile Organic Chemical

Emissions from Indoor Sources Using

Environmental Chambers, version 1.1" for

California Specification 01350 and found to

comply with the VOC requirements. California

Specification 01350 is referenced by various

green building standards and rating systems.
