Re: LATICRETE® Masonry Veneer Installation System (MVIS™)

LATICRETE has developed an enhanced system of Adhered Veneer Installation products to improve upon
the traditional methods of installation that have demonstrated the tendency to fail through delamination and
premature corrosion of the structural reinforcing.

The LATICRETE system is similar to the traditional method with the difference that instead of utilizing standard
masonry cement mortars as in the past, polymer fortified adhesive mortar is used. LATICRETE Masonry
Veneer Mortar has been specifically designed to provide high bond strength, flexibility and durability. It is used
employing the same installation methods the installers have become accustomed to.

A further improvement is the inclusion of LATICRETE Hydro Ban™, a liquid applied breathable waterproof
membrane that prevents moisture intrusion in barrier wall constructs. This membrane is located outside of the
corrodible structural components of the wall offering maximum protection and longevity to the entire assembly.

In addition, the LATICRETE system allows for another option that increases quality and durability. Instead of
a field formed lath and plaster substrate, which is subject to great variability in workmanship (and therefore
quality), cement backer board is used. This substrate is typically used with tile and natural stone installations
and is "time and field proven" to provide great consistency and durability in installations. By replacing the lath
and plaster coat, this option also decreases the cost of the system at the same time as increasing performance
levels.

LATAPOXY® Waterproof Flashing Mortar and LATICRETE Latasil™ silicone sealant allow for a complete
installation that is protected by the LATICRETE System Warranty*.

 The Challenge
The explosive increase in popularity of adhered masonry veneer facades has
created a need for higher performance, factory produced installation materials to
assure consistently high quality installations.
Up to now, the installation of adhered masonry veneers has required the use
of site-mixed Type S mortars – materials that are subject to large variations
in consistency, quality and performance and which also limit the installation
technique to that of traditional masonry.
Many projects have been plagued by delaminating stone and water intrusion
among other installation issues inherent to materials and techniques which are
limited in flexibility and margin for error. This traditional method is not engineered
as part of a complete wall system and therefore does not offer warranties from
a reliable source willing to stand behind the installation.
Many companies might say their products are low VOC, only one independently
certifies it – LATICRETE.
4 | www.laticrete.com/mvis
The Solution
Realizing these shortcomings, and based on our globally proven technology,
LATICRETE has developed an installation system that provides a permanent,
high strength installation that is freeze/thaw stable and protected from water
intrusion.
Backed by the LATICRETE® 25 Year System Warranty*, the LATICRETE Masonry
Veneer Installation System (MVIS™) allows for increased productivity utilizing
either traditional masonry installation techniques or the “tile setter’s” method.
Vastly expanded architectural details are offered at www.laticrete.com/MVIS
to help design professionals, contractors and installers understand the range
of possible applications – and appropriate products and techniques which will
assure long-term performance on projects of all types.
