Floor Mud Mortar

Simplify Tile Setting with a Thick Mortar Bed

The flooring pro’s choice for building thick mud beds to set ceramic or natural tile, Sakrete Floor Mud Mortar can be used in both wet-set or dry-set applications.

When your tile installation calls for a stable, load-bearing mud bed with customizable depth, Sakrete Floor Mud mortar delivers the strength and packability pros rely on. It’s a must-have for shower bases, sloped surfaces and traditional mortar bed installations.

For stronger adhesion, substitute Sakrete Bonder & Fortifier instead of water. For surface-level smoothing before tile, consider Self-Leveling Underlayment. For patching deeper concrete areas prior to setting mud beds, Pro-Mix Concrete Repair is a complementary solution.
