Product Details

Laticrete Strata_Mat Uncoupling Membrane for Crack Isolation (0177-0150-2) It is a high-performance uncoupling membrane designed to prevent cracks in the substrate from transferring to your stone or tile installation. Ideal for both residential and commercial projects, Strata_Mat provides a robust solution for crack isolation, reducing the risk of floor failures caused by substrate movement. Its innovative design features a unique surface structure that enhances bond strength with thin-set mortar, making it perfect for use with a wide range of tile types, including ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone. Strata_Mat also improves sound control and can be easily rolled out for quick and efficient installation, offering long-term protection against moisture, cracks, and movement. Whether you're installing tile over concrete, wood, or other substrates, Strata_Mat Uncoupling Membrane ensures your floor remains stable, durable, and resilient for years to come.

Estimated Thin-Set Coverage

Approximate latex thin-set adhesive mortar usage for a 323sq/ft roll of STRATA_MAT is as follows when installed with 4XLT, 253 Gold (or 50lb bag equivalent in lightweight adhesive mortars):

  • To embed a 323 ft2 (30m2) roll of STRATA_MAT to the substrate using a 1/4” x 3/16” V-notch trowel - 2.8 bags will be required
  • To fill the divots for a 323sq/ft roll of STRATA_MAT - 2.3 bags will be required
  • To set 323 sq. ft. of tile with a ¼” x 3/8” square notch in trowel on top of STRATA_MAT - 5.6 bags will be required
  • A total of 10.7 bags will be required when installing a 323sq/ft roll of STRATA_MAT

Product Advantages

  • Mortar Hydration Vents - creates a mechanical bond between the mat and adhesive mortar - allows the mortar to cure faster providing a stronger bond of tile at 16 – 24 hours for faster time to grout.
  • Allows for use of the appropriate mortar per industry standards.
  • Provides vapor management
  • Eliminates transmission of in plane substrate cracks of up to 1/8" (3 mm) when used in direct bond applications
  • Instant coverage verification· allows for installer to see mortar coverage underneath the mat during installation without having to lift and verify
  • Allows for easier floor layout as chalk lines are easily visible on surface prior to tile installation
  • Rated Extra Heavy per ASTM C627 using the thin-bed method
  • Rated residential over wood joist or trussed floors when installing tile using a large & heavy tile adhesive mortar (aka medium bed method)
  • Rated light over concrete when installing tile using a large & heavy tile adhesive mortar (aka medium bed mortar)
  • Lightweight, easy to carry and fast to install with standard tools
  • Can be used under moisture sensitive stone
  • Suitable for interior non-industrial vehicular traffic applications over concrete substrates
