Aura Tiles Pool and Veneer Project

This beautiful feature wall is part of a new outdoor project by Kevin from Aura Tiles. LATICRETE QLD Technical Sales Representative, Corey Downes was on-site with Kevin in Doonan, QLD as he completed the veneer wall using LATAPOXY® 300 Adhesive. 

The next part of the project is the pool which will be waterproofed using HYDRO BAN® and HYDRO BAN® Slurry, with coping and waterline tiles installed using 254 adhesive and grouted with SPECTRALOCK® PRO Premium Grout*. 

Learn more about these products:

• LATAPOXY 300 Adhesive is a chemical resistant, epoxy adhesive that will bond to most sound, clean surfaces. The adhesive spreads easily and cleans with water while fresh. Superior strength and workability. Prevents curling of watersensitive marbles and agglomerates. Will not stain white or light-coloured stone.
• HYDRO BAN is a thin, load bearing waterproofing/crack isolation membrane that DOES NOT require the use of fabric in the field, coves or corners. HYDRO BAN is a single component self curing liquid rubber polymer that forms a flexible, seamless waterproofing membrane that bonds directly to a wide variety of substrates.
• HYDRO BAN SLURRY is a cement based, one component, polymer fortified material that mixes with water and easily applies with brush, roller or trowel. This product can be used on retaining walls, water features, slabs on ground and immersed installations where water resistance or protection from substrate moisture is required.
• 254 adhesive is the ultimate one-step, polymer fortified, thin-set adhesive for interior and exterior installation of ceramic tile, reduced thickness porcelain, stone, quarry tile, pavers and brick. 254 adhesive, designed to just mix with water, has a long open time with unsurpassed adhesion and workability. 
• SPECTRALOCK PRO Premium Grout* is a patented, high performance epoxy grout which offers excellent colour uniformity, durability, stain protection, and beautiful, full grout joints in an easy to-use, non-sag formula.

• HYDRO BAN® - a thin, load-bearing waterproofing/crack isolation membrane that DOES NOT require the use of fabric in the field, coves or corners. HYDRO BAN is a single component, self-curing liquid rubber polymer that forms a flexible, seamless waterproofing membrane.
