Australian Project Spotlight: John Leak Monument
An extract from the above Project Spotlight:
"The entire monument was an artistic creation consisting of thousands of colourful mosaic tiles held together by The LATICRETE® System. LATICRETE materials were provided by Sandy Robertson of OzMosaics, also a mosaic artist, whose tour de force mosaic performance a few years ago for the Australia Zoo (in honour of Steve Irwin) also depended solely on LATICRETE installation products.
LATICRETE® Hydro Ban® was used to seal and waterproof the concrete base. The artists selected this product because being situated on the riverfront in Rockhampton, the monument with its mosaics needed to be flood-proof. "We selected LATICRETE PermaColor™ Grout mixed with LATICRETE 4237 Latex Additive. These products had come highly recommended from Sandy Robertson of OzMosaics," added Hills.
"LATICRETE Hydro Ban was extremely easy to apply and had great coverage. Apart from providing a great waterproofing membrane, it also provided an even base for the application of the mosaics. LATICRETE PermaColor Grout mixed with LATICRETE 4237 Latex Additive also
were very easy to use. We used a couple of different coloured grouts to complement the key features in the mosaic; they blended together really well," continued Hills."
