Masonry Veneer Installation System FAQ's

Check out this week's FAQ's on MVIS™ - Masonry Veneer Installation System.

1. Is MVIS more expensive than traditional systems?

No. While MVIS individual components typically cost more per SKU than traditional counterparts, the systems are not comparable in terms of total installation cost. In most cases, the installed cost is actually less with the MVIS.

■ Installation of cement backer board is faster and less expensive than a lath with scratch and brown coat method, saving both labor and material costs

■ Traditional systems often use much more product due to waste and inconsistent job site mixing.

■ MVIS mortars offer faster installation of adhered veneer stones and thin bricks

■The cost associated with non-warranted traditional products is often not calculated; LATICRETE offers a fully warranted system including the cost of materials and labour.

2. Can anyone install the MVIS?

Yes. MVIS can be installed by any trade. This includes, but is not limited to:

■ Brick and stone masons.

■ Tile installers.

Any of these installers can offer the appropriate LATICRETE Warranty.
