Custom Home Project in Maui







A custom home project recently completed by Higher Standard Tile & Stone, in beautiful upcountry Maui. Various stone, porcelain, and glass tile were used throughout the home. Every bathroom was a different design and required various types of installation materials.

Isaac Homza from Higher Standard Tile & Stone said:

We used a lot of LATICRETE 4-XLT (especially helpful for the 15mm thick stone on the master bath shower ceiling!) Also LATICRETE 317 with LATICRETE 333 Super Flexible Additive, LATICRETE 253 Gold and LATICRETE 220 Marble and Granite Mortar. LATICRETE Glass Tile Adhesive was used for all the glass tile backsplashes and accent rows.

All the showers and tub surrounds were waterproofed with LATICRETE Hydro Ban and LATICRETE Hydrobarrier was used as anti-fracture membrane over the concrete substrate for the bathroom floors.

Six colours of grout were used in LATICRETE PermaColor, LATICRETE 1600 Unsanded with LATICRETE 1776 Grout Enhancer, and LATICRETE SpectraLOCK PRO Grout for the pebble shower floors. LATICRETE Latasil 100% silicone for change of plane and movement joints.

The great service from our local Maui LATICRETE distributor - Hawaiian Ceramic Tile (Susan, Sally, Jason, Kel, and Joe) and the excellent advice from some of your (LATICRETE) top tech people (Art Mintie and Mark Brooks) helped make this project a success.
