What are the different types of mortar used for natural stone installation?

For natural stone, common mortar types include Type S (for structural applications and veneers), Type N (general purpose), and polymer-modified thin-set mortars (ANSI 118.4 or 118.15). Polymer-modified mortars offer enhanced adhesion and flexibility, crucial for many natural stone applications, especially thin veneers and large format tiles.
