Masonry Veneer Installation System Water Crack Isolation
LATICRETE, a leading manufacturer of globally proven construction solutions for the building industry, has launched Masonry Veneer Installation System (MVIS™) Water Crack Isolation (WCI). MVIS WCI is a premier crack isolation solution that enhances longevity thanks to its outer protective shield when used with LATICRETE® air barriers or other air barrier systems. The product is a single-component, load-bearing, fluid-applied, bulk water management and crack isolation membrane that produces a seamless, monolithic elastomeric coating that bonds directly to a wide variety of concrete and cement backer board substrates due to its unmatched strength.
“MVIS WCI was carefully engineered to achieve peace-of-mind for the end user and guard against the harshest elements, making it a necessity to avoid costly repairs down the road,” said Dustin Prevete, LATICRETE Senior Product Manager. “As LATICRETE continues to evolve in the masonry veneer market, MVIS WCI provides an effective solution to provide superior crack isolation, excellent bond strength and water resistance, preventing in-plane movement from transmitting through finished materials and preventing bulk water migration through the full system.”
