Ultra-white, lightweight, non-sanded thin-set designed specifically for glass tile and translucent stone installations. Its smooth, easy-to-trowel consistency and extended open time improve productivity while maintaining precise placement and superior bond strength.
Laticrete Glass Tile Adhesive Lite Modified Mortar is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and aesthetic results for glass tile and translucent installations. Its ultra-white, non-sanded formula preserves the natural color and brilliance of glass mosaics while providing high bond strength and minimal shrinkage.
The lightweight, single-component design requires only water for mixing, making it convenient and efficient for professional installers. With extended open time and superior non-sag properties, it simplifies both vertical and overhead applications. Suitable for interior, exterior, and submerged environments, this advanced mortar combines strength, versatility, and clean installation results across a wide range of projects.

All surfaces should be between 40°F (4°C) and 90°F (32°C) and structurally sound, clean and free of all dirt, oil, grease, paint, concrete sealers or curing compounds. Rough or uneven concrete surfaces should be made smooth with Latex Portland Cement Underlayment to provide a wood float (or better) finish. Dry, dusty concrete slabs or masonry should be dampened and excess water swept off. Installation may be made on a damp surface. Concrete slabs must be plumb and true to within 1/4" (6 mm) in 10' (3 m).
