What Ugly Duckling?!

A photo of the shop in the 50's  when it flooded

The Deli - no longer the "Ugly Duckling"

Following on from our blog on 5 April - the "Ugly Duckling" is no longer! Murray Heazlewood and his team have done wonders using Eldorado Stone and LATICRETE^® Masonry Veneer Installation System (MVIS™) for the Deli in Coolangatta, QLD.  Click here for more information on LATICRETE MVIS™ and to view a video!

Nick Collett, LATICRETE QLD Tech Sales Rep sent the below email: 

"I was driving passed the "Ugly Duckling" (as per our previous blog post) today and I saw it was finished and opened. See attached photos. 

It’s a great lightweight installation backed by the LATICRETE 25 year Warranty. Notice the old photo of the original building back in the fifties, I can only assume this may have been from a tidal surge or flood. Might be a pretty cool one to repost now we have the completed photos (absolutely, here is our blog!). I found this old photo by accident in the next door shop so I took a quick photo, they must have thought I was weird!!!

The owner of the Deli commented that he has received lots of compliments regarding the installation!!"

Looking good!

Reuben & Nick looking triumphant after their project!

Recently Nick and Reuben (QLD Technical Sales Reps) went to iLandscape to educate the staff on the LATICRETE MVIS/Adbri Masonry/Eldorado Stone Installation System. They also helped construct and install with the LATICRETE MVIS (Masonry Veneer Installation System) a small feature planter box with Adbri Masonry’s Coastal Reef Stone. The planter box was created out of dry-stacked block, and the adhesive is holding it all together.

The staff were amazed at the capabilities of the LATICRETE MVIS.

The LATICRETE MVIS provides the solution by offering a comprehensive quality controlled installation system. Utilising proven materials, LATICRETE MVIS products include a revolutionary waterproofing membrane, polymer fortified adhesive mortars that provide non-sag performance, a scratch and brown coat mortar, a masonry pointing mortar and a 100% silicone sealant.
