Kate-Lo Tile & Stone is excited to introduce two new thinsets from Schluter®. We are currently stocking these at all of our Minnesota locations and our Iowa location. Creating the ultimate installation system, Schluter SET™ and Schluter ALL-SET™, guarantee consistently positive results and offer an extended lifetime limited warranty. Specifically formulated for Schluter® membranes and boards, they will allow tile installers to use a single source for their tile installation systems, with guaranteed product compatibility.
Schluter-Systems’ modified thin-set mortars have been specifically formulated to set and gain strength in a timeframe that fits typical installation practice, even when sandwiched between Schluter® membranes or boards and porcelain tile. It is engineered for use both under and over all DITRA® and KERDI® products and are approved to set porcelain tile over Schluter® boards and membranes.
The proportions of cement, water-retention agents, polymers, and other components in the mixtures were balanced to ensure that extended dry times are not required. This performance has been validated through both laboratory and practical testing. Now, the installer can select from either Schluter-Systems’ unmodified or modified thin-set mortar to install tiles over Schluter® products according to his or her preference.
When Schluter-Systems’ new thin-set mortars are used within certain Schluter® applications, an extended lifetime limited warranty is available.
Schluter-Systems will continue to warrant its systems when other manufacturers’ unmodified thin-set mortars meeting ANSI A118.1 are used to install tile. The ongoing confidence in the performance of this product category is based on the known science of cement hydration and years of positive field experience.
Schluter SET™ is a premium, unmodified thin-set mortar for use as a bond coat within tile assemblies that is optimized for use with Schluter® membranes and boards. Schluter SET™ is smooth and creamy, as well as easy to handle and spread. It is sag-resistant and ideal for setting tile on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. Schluter SET™ is suitable for use with ceramic, porcelain, and stone tile, including large and heavy tile, in conjunction with Schluter®-Systems’ uncoupling and waterproofing membranes (e.g., DITRA, DITRA-HEAT, KERDI, etc.), the Schluter®-Shower System, and KERDI-BOARD. Schluter SET™ can be used in both interior and exterior systems and is available in both grey and white.
