Product Details
Laticrete Strata Mat XT Full Roll 150 sq. ft.
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 1/4" to 3/8" (3 to 9 mm) thick tile and 3/4" (19 mm) thick hardwood flooring.
