Laticrete Introduces MVIS Premium Pointing Mortar Base

Push the boundaries of design with the all-new MVIS Premium Pointing Mortar Base by Laticrete. A first in the adhered masonry veneer industry, MVIS Premium Pointing Mortar Base utilizes water-dispersible pigment packs, giving architects, designers and installers unparalleled ability to match the styles, preferences and demands of any project or homeowner. Simply choose from any of 40 stock color pigment packs, and mix with the neutral base right before installing to achieve consistent, vibrant colors across the entire project. Or take it to the next level with the AnyColor system, unlocking an infinite palette of colors including the most popular paint offerings from Behr, Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams, or any color in the Pantone universe.

”The Laticrete Masonry Veneer Installation System, or MVIS, is an evolution in how installers apply thin veneers,” said Daniel Rothberg, Laticrete Product Manager. “We’ve created a system that saves installers time and money, while achieving superior results. MVIS Premium Pointing Mortar is the perfect finishing touch, a totally-unique product that allows installers to create truly innovative designs. And nobody can match our system’s warranty… up to 25-years!”

MVIS Premium Pointing Mortar is ideal for any number of both exterior and interior projects. Glazed thin brick, glazed block, porcelain pavers, hardscapes… the possibilities are endless. Fiber-reinforcement allows users to create, strong, durable joints of up to half an inch. Additionally, Microban antimicrobial technology resists the growth of mold and mildew, keeping installations looking clean in the most challenging environments. The single, common base, reduces the need to keep large stockpiles of different color bases on hand, instead relying on pigment packs to fit the needs of each job. The pre-packaged pigment packs also guarantee color consistency from batch-to-batch for optimum quality control across the life cycle of a project.

Certifications

MVIS Premium Pointing Mortar Base also holds multiple certifications and declarations, including UL GreenGuard Gold Certifications for low chemical emissions, Health Product Declarations (HPD) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPD).
