Common Questions
Is the Laticrete Strata mat waterproof?
STRATA_MAT is not intended for use as a waterproofing membrane. It is not for worn surfaces; it must be covered with tile.
Can you use Strata heat in a shower?
Yes, however, showers may only have 120V systems. When installing a STRATA_HEAT™ Wire system in a shower, it must be placed between two non-combustible materials
