Stone Installation Failure


This photo shows 2 major issues:

  1. The use of spot fixing with cement based adhesive (a competitors adhesive), this does not comply with current industry standards.
  2. This also shows what can happen when laying moisture sensitive stone (sandstone in this case). The bottom row had 100% coverage on the back of the tiles, but due to the high sensitivity of moisture in the stone, the tiles fell off within 48 hours of being laid.
How to combat this problem? Use LATAPOXY 300 Adhesive.


LATAPOXY 300 Adhesive is a chemical resistant, epoxy adhesive that will bond to most sound, clean surfaces. Adhesive spreads easily and cleans with water while fresh. LATAPOXY 300 Adhesive is a factory-proportioned kit consisting of epoxy resin, hardener and chemical resistant silica filler. LATAPOXY 300 Adhesive can be used in interior and exterior (see limitations) walls and floors, wet and dry areas.
