FAQ
Q: What is the difference between a foam interface pad and a thinset mortar bed?
A: A foam interface pad is a thin, flexible sheet of foam that is placed between the tile and the substrate. It helps to level the surface and reduce vibration and noise. A thinset mortar bed is a layer of mortar that is applied to the substrate before the tile is installed. It provides a strong bond between the tile and the substrate.
Q: Can I use a foam interface pad on any type of surface?
A: No, you should only use a foam interface pad on a smooth, level surface. If the surface is uneven or rough, you should use a different type of pad or a thinset mortar bed.
Q: How long does it take for the mortar to dry?
The drying time for mortar will vary depending on the type of mortar and the conditions in the area. Generally, it will take between 24 and 48 hours for the mortar to dry completely.
Q: How do I clean the foam interface pad?
You can clean the foam interface pad with a mild detergent and water. Be sure to rinse the pad thoroughly and dry it completely before using it again.
