Dubai Expo 2020





Take a look at the one of the most creative, ambitious projects that LATICRETE has been involved in! This water fountain is a featured piece in the currently ongoing 'Expo 2020' in Dubai, and was put together by the talented minds of WET Design.

Not only does this fountain look beautiful with its six spiralling pillars and vibrant circular tile pattern, it is part of a stunning performance of fire and water! The display is set to a piece of orchestral music written for the project by one of the world's foremost modern composers, Ramin Djawadi, who composed the iconic music from Game of Thrones, Iron Man, Pacific Rim, and many more.

The four-storey walls surrounding this fountain are giant water features which send 153 waves cascading in time with the music, while the six spires in the centre exhale hydrogen flames of neon green, red, pink, and yellow. The water is continually filtered and recycled within the system, and the hydrogen flames produce no harmful emissions, making the fountain a certified green project.

For the tiles, WET Design relied on the globally-renowned expertise of Australia-based tile company Everstone. Everstone knew that a project like this would require trusted, quality installation materials, and turned to LATICRETE to supply the grout and adhesive products for this incredible piece of art.

LATICRETE Team Helps Firefighters On Moreton Island

A photo taken by Kerrod as the fire intensified

Kerrod, Nathan and Dave
Three of LATICRETE Brisbane's warehouse/manufacturing team were enjoying their holiday on Moreton Island, off the coast of Redcliffe, Brisbane late last week. A bushfire took hold and they found themselves along with everyone else, confronted by an intense and rapidly growing fire on the small island.

When asked what happened, they were retelling how they had to help firefighters and locals to start pumps and pump water onto the blaze and how all the snakes seemed to 'come out of the woodwork'. The fire has burnt 2,500 hectares of bushland since last Thursday and continues to rage.

They would do the same again in a similar situation, but we are proud to have such generous and kind hearted young men working for LATICRETE Australia!

Well done guys, I am sure the Moreton Island community are extremely grateful to you all.
