Custom® Building Productsrecently introducedProLite™ Tile and Stone Mortar, which is formulated with Custom's proprietary CustomLite™ Technology. ProLite is up to 40 percent lighter than traditional mortars, and is the second high-performance, lightweight mortar in Custom's lightweight line, reports the company.

ProLite's high performance and light weight make it ideal for setting large-format floor and wall tile without slumping or sagging. High flexibility and bond strength mean that ProLite is effective for installing a wide range of tile and stone, including ceramic and even difficult-to-bond-to porcelain and glass tile. ProLite is versatile and can be used as either a thin-set or medium-bed mortar.

Because it is formulated with CustomLite Technology, ProLite offers the same creamy consistency and preferred working characteristics that reduce installer fatigue and have made Custom's other lightweight products a favorite among tile professionals. With ProLite weighing up to 40 percent less than competitive, cement-based mortars, a 30-pound bag covers the same area as a 50-pound bag of traditional mortar, according to Custom Building Products. ProLite comes packaged with a built-in handle, making it easier to carry and use on the job.
