LATAPOXY 310 Cordless Mixer Used on a Project!

University of Queensland, Oral Health Centre

Feedback received from Nick Collett, QLD Techncial Sales Rep while on the above job site offering support and guidance.

"Tile Corp are using the LATAPOXY® 310 Cordless Mixer on this site. Even I was truly amazed at the productivity in just a few hours! 

I was onsite at 7.30am this morning to meet the contractors and show them how to use their LATAPOXY 310 Cordless Mixer and there was only a small test panel previously laid (first image).

The remainder of the stone was done by only 2 installers who were first time LATAPOXY Cordless Mixer users in a matter of 4.5 hours and that includes a lunch break!!"

The LATAPOXY 310 Cordless Mixer is a highly productive tool that quickly and easily dispenses LATAPOXY 310 Stone Adhesive onto ceramic tile, porcelain and stone for facade & veneer applications. Hundreds of square metres can be installed per day with less effort and greater success with this system!

Compared to other cladding installation systems such as mechanical anchors, plaster & wire or thin-set, the LATAPOXY 310 system provides unmatched speed, strength, versatility and productivity. Perfect for interior and exterior cladding with tile, stone and porcelain veneers.

Glass Mosaic Pool

eMail from Developer and Licensed Engineer

An email sent to our GM, Henry Rothberg:

"As a developer and licensed engineer, I don't mess around and cut corners. We only approve use of the best waterproofing and installation materials, thus Laticrete is our first choice for demanding applications such as continuously submerged water conditions such as glass tile swimming pools.

Attached are a couple pics of the last pool (residential hillside all glass tile infinity edge swimming pool and spa) we did at different stages. We used the Laticrete Swimming Pool Technical Design Manual as our source for specifications and details.

We first used a cement based waterproofer for negative waterproofing, then Laticrete fortified thin set adhesive as a bond coat for the mortar bed to render/float shotcrete shell to accept tile. After that everything is Laticrete....another very thin Laticrete fortified thin set adhesive bond coat to fill voids in the mortar bed, then Hydroban waterproofing, Laticrete fortified thin set adhesive to install the paper faced glass tile, SpectraLOCK Pro grout and finally LataSil silcone sealant for expansion joints and penetrations. Needless to say its quite a time consuming and expensive process.

Thanks

Sherwin"

David from Amber Tiles, Orange, sent his local LATICRETE Technical Sales Rep, Glenn Mannix the below email:

Hi Glenn,

Attached are some photos of the cladding being installed with MVIS.  Andrew Harvey from Andrew Harvey Wall and Floor Tiling is the installer.

Andrew said the product was great to work with as it allowed him build up low points due the varying thickness of the product.
