Innovative Tile and Stone Installation Systems
LATICRETE has recently announced the launch of two innovative new products for 2011!
LATICRETE 125 Sound & Crack Adhesive is a superior crack prevention and sound isolation adhesive mortar. Independently tested to ANSI A118.12 specification for crack isolation for ceramic tile and stone installations and independently tested to ASTM E2179 and ASTM E492 for sound protection. LATICRETE 125 Sound & Crack Adhesive is a single component adhesive mortar which takes the place of costly time consuming membrane or mat systems by allowing for faster, more effective tile or stone installations.

A great product! I used it recently installing tile on a slab with a 1/8" wide crack across the width of the room. The customers were more than happy to pay the additional cost of the 125 when I pointed out that replacing a number of tiles later would cost much more. Laticrete 125 is easy to mix, easy to work with, and cleans up with a damp sponge. There's no learning curve with this product, and there's a great peace of mind knowing that your tile will not crack in the future when the slab cracks. I'm keeping a bag or two on hand all the time for when I run across another cracked slab.
New Products
LATICRETE® 125 Sound & Crack Adhesive
LATICRETE® Crack Suppression Kit
LATICRETE Crack Suppression Kit consists of liquid rubber and reinforcing fabric packaged for convenient individual treatment of substrate cracks. When cured, it forms a highly flexible membrane that reduces or eliminates crack transmission in tile or stone work.
LATICRETE® Blue 92 Anti-Fracture Membrane
LATICRETE Blue 92 Anti-Fracture Membrane is a two–part system consisting of a liquid rubber and reinforcing fabric. When cured, it forms a highly flexible membrane. While the thin bed method of tile installation provides many advantages, this method can be affected by problems with shrinkage cracking in concrete and other types of substrates. Cracks can telegraph through the tile and/or grout joints. To reduce or eliminate cracks in tile work, a flexible membrane should be applied to the cracked substrate prior to the installations of ceramic tile, marble and stone.
