Join us each week for a look at a stunning LATICRETE project from around the world! This week we're taking a look at Boston in the United States. For nearly 150 years, the Cathedral of the
Holy Cross has been a staple in Boston’s
Catholic community and has played host to
many significant events in U.S. history, including
1964’s requiem mass to mourn the assassination
of President John F. Kennedy, Pope John Paul
II’s first trip to the United States as leader of the
Catholic Church in 1979 and an interfaith service
where President Barack Obama addressed the
nation after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.
Generations of use had taken a toll on the largest Catholic church in New England, and for its first-ever renovation architects chose to specify products that would stand the test of time, using a full LATIRETE installation system for a 25-year warranty. With almost 1900m² to be tiled, the contractors relied on a vast range of LATICRETE products to ensure this historic project was a success.
The range of products used on this project include LEVEL and STRATA_MAT™ for the underlayment and uncoupling membrane, topped with a layer of HYDRO BAN® and adhesives, followed by grouting with PERMACOLOR® Select and SPECTRALOCK® Pro Premium Grout.
