[Chino, Calif.] Merkrete, a Parex USA brand, will display and demonstrate its high-efficiency tile setting products at Coverings 2022 in Las Vegas. Booth N2562 will feature the company’s timesaving innovations April 5-8 in the Las Vegas Convention Center North Hall. According to the company, Merkrete’s focus during North America’s largest ceramic tile and natural stone exhibition is to present high-performance solutions that reduce project times and allow installers to take on more business.

Two technologies to be presented and demonstrated throughout the event are Merkrete’s slake-free grouts and mortars, and patented Dustless Technology (DLT). Slake-free products let installers forgo the waiting period and final mix required for most mortars and grouts on the market. Slake-free products are ready after a single mix, saving installation teams upward of 12 hours per pallet of material. Meanwhile, the company said products with Dustless Technology generate significantly less unwanted dust during transportation and at the jobsite. Dustless mortars promote cleaner work areas and eliminate much of the cleanup tied to installation projects.

“Our goal has always been to provide cost-effective, high-performance product solutions that save the installers’ time and money while improving upon the overall results of the project,” said Merkrete national sales manager Todd Boos. “Many of our customers recognize us as an innovative brand that has enhanced and/or advanced many of the materials they work with every day. Coverings has always been a show where the industry’s best and brightest attend to view the latest trends, so we’re pleased to have an opportunity to demonstrate our new products and brand direction.”
