The Panther Pride Mosaic

Panther Pride Mosaic, Uplift North Hills Prep. Irving, Texas, USA

Email received from Julie Richey: 

"Hello Everyone! Here are photos from the installation November 1 - 3. We were so lucky to have three days of perfect weather. Everyone is thrilled with the mosaic. We now have to fabricate the outer "wedges" of background beige mosaic to cover the remaining cement. We had a great group of volunteers and the One Step worked perfectly.  

The above mosaic is installed in the outdoor amphitheater at Uplift North Hills Preparatory School in Irving, Texas, USA. We used Quarry Tile from Spokane, WA and LATICRETE PERMACOLOR® Grout mixed with 4237 Admix, also called the One Step Method.

Thanks, Julie"

We Do Customised Brochures!

Customised Brochure Prepared for DécoR Stone.

Our newly created LATICRETE brochure has all the products for installing Adhered Stone for DécoR Stone products.

The increase in popularity of adhered masonry veneer facades has left the industry absent of suitable installation materials and detailed specifications - LATICRETE has the answer!
Our proven technology will provide a permanent, high strength installation that is freeze/thaw stable and protects from water intrusion.

For over 50 years, LATICRETE has continuously provided the latest technology in construction materials and methods to deliver superior problem free installations for tile and stone installations. Utilising these advanced technologies, the Masonry Veneer Installation System (MVIS™) is designed to offer complete solutions for adhered masonry veneers.

Installation of masonry veneers is typically performed with on-site mortar mixes that are subject to large variations in quality and performance. Whether over concrete or masonry substrates, installations usually include metal lath and most often provide inadequate protection from the weather resulting in water intrusion and also delamination of the veneer. Difficult to use and very time consuming to prepare, these systems are not engineered as complete wall systems and therefore do not offer warranties from a reliable source that will stand behind the installation.

The LATICRETE MVIS system is also verified through independent testing to perform equally to code approved conventional lath and plaster installation systems for adhered masonry veneers.

MVIS provides the solution by offering a comprehensive quality controlled installation system. Utilising proven materials, MVIS products include a revolutionary waterproofing membrane, polymer fortified adhesives that provide non-sag performance, a scratch and brown coat mortar, a masonry pointing mortar and a 100% silicone sealant. Click here for more information, view our range of MVIS products and watch an installation video.

Yes - we also prepare customised brochures.  Would you like one for YOUR stone or tile?

Hopefully they Used SPECTRALOCK "StainProof" Grout!

Baby JR only sits still when getting a treat

Cyrus patiently waiting for more treats

Sassy just loves getting cuddles and having her tummy scratched.

Additions to Our LatiFluffy Family

It seems the past month has been a month of family additions with three new furry babies.

Annie Harvey's new baby, JR is just the cutest whilst, Adam Marks's daughter, Hanna thinks her Dad is the absolute best as they have given new hope to the little fluff ball Sassy. Sassy was a rescue dog. Lester Karklis on the other hand isn't that happy about their new addition but also did it for his daughter - what Dad's do for their daughters!

Hopefully Annie, Adam and Lester have all got SPECTRALOCK® "StainProof" Grout in their homes for all those little accidents that their fluffy, four legged family members are going to make!

Not only is SPECTRALOCK a "StainProof" grout, it also cleans to the original colour and is easy to maintain. Click here for more features, benefits and information on SPECTRALOCK "StainProof" Grout.
