VersaBond-LFT is specifically engineered for large-format tiles, which are tiles with at least one side longer than 15 inches. These materials are heavier and harder to keep level than smaller tiles; VersaBond-LFT addresses this by providing a medium-bed consistency that holds the tile in place, preventing it from sinking into the mortar during the curing process. This ensures a flat, smooth, and professional finish across both floors and walls. This mortar is suitable for interior and exterior installations over concrete, mortar beds, and cement backer board. By providing a stronger, more supportive bedding layer, it reduces the likelihood of hollow spots, which can lead to tile breakage under load. When installing large-format materials, it is critical to meet manufacturer-recommended substrate deflection standards and to use the appropriate trowel for full mortar coverage. If you are uncertain about your subfloor's suitability for heavy tile, we recommend a professional inspection prior to starting the installation.
