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*.
