What are the proper tile setting compounds?
This is one where I could write a book. It all depends on what kind of tile youre installing, and what the underlayment is that youre going over. Ill give a generalized list: 1. Polymer/ latex modified thinset: For all intents and purposes, this is the cure-all. For almost any installation the modified thinset, which is basically portland cement, silica sand, and chemical polymers added for strength, will work. There are some that are specialized, such as the lightweight non-sag thinsets (such as Laticretes 255 or Mapeis Ultralite), or the high latex content thinsets (like Laticretes 254 Platinum or Hydroments Reflex), but with the exception of going over some membranes, theres a modified thinset for every installation. 2. Unmodified thinset: This is the same as above, but with no polymers added. Its usually used in conjunction with a liquid latex additive, but will also be used mixed with water for going over some membranes. Its also used as a bedding for all CBUs. 3. Medium Bed Morta
