Fred Gray, LATICRETE Technical Service Manager

Be sure to be at DESIGNEX, in NSW!

This is a presentation you don't want to miss out on!

May 29, 2014 - 2.00pm to 2.45pm

An outlawed tiling technique with conventional adhesives made possible with specially engineered epoxy adhesives and well thought out installation practices. A presentation on the future of Spot Bonding in Australia and its ever increasing synergies with evolution of large formate tile and stone.

Speaker: Fred Gray, LATICRETE

Fred Gray has been active in the construction industry since 1975. His experience as a builder, including swimming pools has provided Fred with a unique perspective on tiling installations. Fred has written many hundreds of specifications on tiling, being directly involved through the installations, including facades, railway infrastructure, commercial, shopping centres and high end domestic residential projects.

Featured Article in SPLASH!

Fred Gray's published article in the Feb/March issue of SPLASH! magazine

Tiling to Last a Lifetime

Fred Gray, LATICRETE Technical Service Manager, provides great tips on things to consider before going ahead with your tiling work, in his article as published in the February - March issue of SPLASH! magazine.

"Following on from my last article, I thought it prudent to go into a little more depth with some of the considerations and practices when preparing one of the most common substrate for ceramic tiling in pools – the concrete shell.

Preparation – The first step in substrate preparation is the evaluation of the substrate and its surface condition. This includes the levelness (plane or flatness deviation), identification of general defects (e.g. structural cracks, shrinkage cracks, laitance, etc…), and the presence of curing compounds or surface hardeners, and contamination." Click here to contain reading the full article.

Who Said Coffee?!

Need a cuppa to get you through the day?
