PRODUCTS SHOWCASED AT BOOTH 3131:

NXT SKIM

New and improved, NXT SKIM is a premium quality, fast-drying, cement-based underlayment designed for skim-coating, smoothing and leveling prior to the application of floor coverings. The improved formula can now hold more water, resulting in a creamier consistency for a smoother application and sleeker finish, as well as an extended pot life and easier troweling. The NXT SKIM packaging has also been redesigned with a tin tie resealable feature that allows the product to be saved for additional uses, minimizing product waste and increasing cost savings for the installer.

TRI-LITE

TRI-LITE is a lightweight, high performance tri-purpose mortar designed for large and heavy tile, thin-bed and wall

installations. Due to its lightweight formula and smooth, creamy consistency, a 30-pound bag provides the same

coverage as a 50-pound bag of traditional mortar.

HYDRO BAN Board

HYDRO BAN Board is lightweight, easy-to-install, ready-to-tile wall board designed for bonded tile or stone installations. It is made with a waterproof high-density extruded polystyrene core and a waterproof membrane on both sides to give triple protection from water and vapor intrusion.
