Common Questions

Is the Laticrete Strata mat waterproof?

STRATA_MAT™ is not intended for use as a waterproofing membrane. It is not for worn surfaces; it must be covered with tile. Adhesives/mastics, mortars, and grouts for ceramic tile, pavers, brick, and stone are not replacements for waterproofing membranes.

What is the strata mat used for?

STRATA_MAT™ XT is designed specifically for ceramic tile and dimension stone installations. It serves as an uncoupling layer and vapor management layer, accommodating moisture from beneath the tile covering.

Great Product better than Ditra,always use it.

Can you use it over plywood?

Contractors D.

Hybroban can bond to <i>exterior glue plywood</i>. All surfaces must be structurally sound, stable and rigid enough to support ceramic/stone tile, brick and similar finishes. The installer must verify that deflection under all live, dead and impact loads of interior plywood floors does not exceed industry standards of L/360 for ceramic tile and brick or L/480 for stone installations and L/600 for all exterior veneer applications where L=span length.

I have some Schluter Ditra but want to try Laticrete Stratamat can they both be used for the same tile job? The room is about 30x30 I have a full roll of Schluter Ditra plus some extra footage. Is it the same thickness and similar of same characteristics? Thanks

Contractors D.

These two products have very similar properties and are basically the same thickness however consider that you are voiding both manufacturers warranties. The main difference between the two are that Laticrete Stratamat can be used with both modified and unmodified thinset and the Ditra can only be used with unmodified.
