Typical Use

PRO-STICK 42 XLT is ideal for use in installations of extra large oversize ceramic tile and natural stone for both walls and floors in both interior and exterior applications. It is recommended for use for absorptive, semi vitreous, vitreous tile and impervious ceramic tile such as porcelain tile and natural stone over properly prepared masonry, concrete, cement backer board, membranes and existing ceramic tile. For interior dry areas, it is suitable for properly prepared gypsum board and exterior grade plywood substrates. PRO-STICK 42 XLT is suitable for both residential and commercial construction. It is recommended for use in the thin set installation method for vitreous tiles like porcelain over low or non-absorptive subfloors, and membranes.

Suitable Surfaces Note
