Professional Grade Large and Heavy Tile Mortar

SikaTile®-400 LHT Pro Set is a professional grade, single-component, non-shrinking, polymer-modified mortar for interior and exterior setting of large and heavy tile and natural stone. It may be applied from at 3/32" to 3/4" (2.4 mm to 19 mm) thickness to provide better support under large and heavy tiles and stone and can be used for both interior and exterior installations of tile in most residential and commercial floor and wall applications. SikaTile®-400 LHT Pro Set, features innovative Dustless Technology producing approximately 80% less dust than ordinary thin sets and is designed to promote cleaner working conditions and reduce mess. It uses less water and is creamier and easy to spread.

For use with large and heavy tile and natural stone
Non-slumping/non-shrinking formula eliminates tile lippage
May be applied up to 3/4" (19 mm) thick on horizontal applications

Application Information

Mixing Ratio

5 quarts (4.75 liters) of clean potable water per 50 lb. bag

Layer Thickness

May be applied from 3/32" to 3/4" (2.4 mm to 19 mm) thickness to provide better support under large and heavy tiles and stone

Pot Life

3 Hours

Open Time

> 20 Minutes

Cure Time

Allow 24-48 hours before grouting and light traffic, and 7 days before heavy or vehicular traffic.

MIXING

In a clean container, add approximately 5 quarts (4.75 liters) of clean potable water, then add the contents of the 50 lb. (22.68 kg) SikaTile®-400 LHT Pro Set Mortar. Mix thoroughly by hand or with a slow speed mixer to a smooth, thick, trowel able consistency. Mortar consistency shall be such that when applied with the recommended notched trowel to the substrate, the ridges formed in the mortar do not flow or slump. During use, stir mortar mix occasionally. Do not add additional water. Do not add latex liquid additives to SikaTile®-400 LHT Pro Set.

APPLICATION

Read all installation instructions before installation. Choose a notched trowel with sufficient depth to achieve more than 80% mortar coverage and transfer to substrate and back of tile to both the tile and substrate for all interior applications, and more than 95% for exterior, commercial floor, and wet applications, back-butter the tile to meet these requirements. With pressure, apply a coat of mortar by using the flat side of the trowel to key the mortar into the substrate. With the notched side of the trowel, apply additional mortar by combing it in a single direction parallel to the shortest dimension of the tile. Spread only as much mortar as can be tiled before the product skins over. Open time can vary with job site conditions. Set tiles firmly into the wet mortar and push the tiles back and forth in a direction perpendicular to trowel lines to collapse the mortar ridges and to help achieve maximum coverage.

Movement Joints: All expansion, control, construction, cold, saw-cut, isolation, contraction, and seismic joints in the structure should continue through the tilework, including such joints at vertical surfaces, as specified per TCNA Method EJ171 or TTMAC Specification Guide 09 30 00, Detail 301MJ. Do not cover movement joints with mortar.
