SimpleMat is cleaner, easier, and faster. There is no mixing of powder, there are no special tools needed to apply the mat, and there is no mortar clean-up. Also, thin-set can take 16-18 hours to cure before you can start grouting the tile. With SimpleMat, there is no waiting at all, you can grout immediately.
