Large Format Tile Demands Better Mortars — Meet the PROFLEX® PRO-STICK® Line
The popularity of large format tile has completely changed tile installation requirements. Twelve-by-twenty-four planks, oversized porcelain panels, and natural stone slabs put more stress on the bond line, leave less room for lippage, and demand more from every bag of mortar. Traditional thin-sets often struggle with coverage, sag resistance, and the extended working time crews need to set big tiles cleanly. That’s where the PROFLEX® PRO-STICK® mortar line stands apart.
Engineered in Haines City, Florida and trusted by contractors across the Southeast, PROFLEX® mortars are built around the realities of modern tile work: bigger formats, tighter schedules, and zero tolerance for callbacks.
Engineered for Today’s Tile Trends
Three PRO-STICK® mortars are specifically developed for large and heavy tile installations — each tuned for a slightly different application.
 PRO-STICK® 40 LHTA latex-modified large & heavy tile mortar (ANSI A118.11) built to hold oversized tile and stone in place on walls and reduce lippage on floors. |  PRO-STICK® 42LA lightweight ANSI A118.15 mortar that crews love for reduced fatigue, with crack resistance up to 1/8″ of in-plane substrate movement. |  PRO-STICK® 42 XLTA one-step ANSI A118.11/A118.15 adhesive for extra-large-format porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone — on walls and floors, no back-buttering required. |
