                  Great Thinset mortar. Easy to use and durable.
                  Used Prolite thinset on my bathroom and basement floor. Both Large format tile. Bathroom was 36” x 36” tile and basement floor was 24” x 48”. I have some experience setting tile but this was definitely the biggest project I’ve taken on. Worked out great so far.

                    Top notch product! I’ve been setting tile since the 90’s, but even if your inexperienced, this thin set will help you out. It’s really that good. Performance of the setting materials is very important, at least to me. I usually buy this from my distributor, but was glad H D carries it for convenience, and price!

                    Expensive sand
                    The quality is very low. After 40 hours, two tiles that were glued together easily peeled off as soon as I pried them with a knife using one hand. The dried mortar can be easily peeled with a knife. I can easily turn pieces of dried mortar into dust.

                      This works excellent when using heavy tile on walls. I used it on 6x24 natural stone tile.

                      By far the best
                      I have done numerous fireplaces, backsplashes and other renovations in the home and this product is the only thing i will use. It does what it claims to do, has a good price, and is easy to work with. For stone of all types its awesome. No sag, no slip, dries hard as rock! Make the consistency like a thick milkshake from Wendy’s, trowel on wall, butter the stone to be used, press together and all done. Couldn’t be happier. Be sure to use white instead of grey if using with/on lighter stone/tiles..
