VersaBond Lite offers all the performance of Versabond-LFT with maximum smoothness and the benefits of a true lightweight mortar. This high-adhesion formula is 30% lighter than traditional mortar, resulting in a product that is easier to trowel and move around the job site. Designed for a wide variety of interior and exterior floor and wall installations, Versabond Lite is excellent for installing large, heavy tile or stone. VersaBond Lite does not sag on walls and provides sag-free performance for floor-standing installations. It can be used for LHT thin-set mortar applications up to 3/4″ (19 mm) thick on horizontal surfaces after driving. Formulated with CustomLite technology, a 35 lb (15.9 kg) bag covers the same area as a 50 lb (22.7 kg) bag of traditional mortar. Contributing to LEED certification, VersaBondLite contains up to 16.5% recycled content by weight and 2.5% recycled content by volume. Exceeds ANSI A118.4HET and A118.11 standards without requiring additives.
