Laticrete has announced two product line expansions—the Strata Heat Programmable LCD Thermostat and the new 54 sq. ft. roll size of Strata Mat—designed to simplify installation for tile projects of all sizes, offering greater convenience and functionality.

“A true ‘set it and forget it’ thermostat and a new underlayment roll size are the latest ways Laticrete is reaffirming its commitment to offering building products that drive value for everyone involved – contractors, installers, and homeowners,” said Dustin Prevete, Laticrete group product manager.

Strata Heat Programmable LCD Thermostat

The Strata Heat Programmable LCD Thermostat integrates with the Strata Heat Radiant Floor Heating System. The addition responds to demand for a simple, easy-to-use thermostat for applications where reliable, consistent control is essential. Even in instances of a wireless internet outage, the thermostat will maintain its schedule. The new thermostat joins the family of other top-tier thermostats from Laticrete, each offering different levels of customizability and technical features, including Wi-Fi compatibility and integration with automation apps, such as the “MySTRATA_HEAT” app.

The Strata Heat Programmable LCD Thermostat offers a full-color LCD screen that can be seen from any angle and a user-friendly touchpad for quick and easy setup and operation. It serves as the main source for temperature control within the Strata Heat Radiant Floor Heating System. Offering three modes—automatic schedule, manual, and frost-protect—it can be used manually or programmed specifically to meet floor heating needs. With advanced floor control, users can optimize comfort and energy savings by minimizing energy output and maximizing system efficiency.

Strata Mat (54-sq.-ft roll)

Laticrete has also added a new, smaller roll size to its Strata Mat family. This high-performing uncoupling membrane for tile and stone installations serves as a base layer between the flooring substrate and the tile to isolate the transmission of in-plane substrate cracks. The 54-sq.-ft. roll is specifically designed for residential and smaller-space installations, thereby reducing waste on such projects. The new size joins 323-sq.-ft. and 150-sq.-ft. options, providing customers with versatility and convenience.
