Customer Testimonial

Happy Customer James Pacarazzi

PERMACOLOR® Select Receives Rave Reviews 

"Terrible picture of me loving on Laticrete's Permacolor Select grout. (I even have a t-shirt!) Having experimented with it on a backsplash last week, we went all in and grouted 200sf of travertine today. Loved the consistency, loved the pot life, and clean up was easy. Can't wait until one of our distributors starts stocking Plasma so we can try that next."
