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.

Onsite SPECTRALOCK® Demo

 

Have you tried SPECTRALOCK® PRO Premium Grout* before? LATICRETE NSW Technical Sales Representative Glenn Mannix was onsite in Orange, NSW, with Tarren from TJM Tiling & Stone demonstrating SPECTRALOCK PRO Premium Grout. Tarren was installing a 6m² wall of green marble penny round tiles for a dental clinic, and said grouting with SPECTRALOCK makes epoxy grouting a breeze!

 

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. SPECTRALOCK PRO Premium Grout has all the great features of SPECTRALOCK PRO Grout - colour uniformity, durability and ease of installation - with enhanced performance. 

 

LATICRETE provides onsite demos and in-depth training both on-site and in the classroom that discuss commercial, residential, and industrial tile & stone installation practices, as well as industry standards. Our classroom training utilises both knowledge-based and hands-on product demonstrations.

Great Results for Cafeteria Renovation!

We recently blogged about a project by AJ Bristow at the MLC Private School in Burwood NSW. We excited to share photos of the completed project. The new cafeteria looks amazing! 380m2 of the project was tiled using penny round, un-glazed mosaics.

LATICRETE materials used for the installation were:

• HYDRO BAN® - a single component, self curing liquid rubber polymer that forms a flexible, seamless waterproofing membrane.
• 335 Premium Flexible Adhesive - a high performance thin-bed adhesive for installing a wide range of tiles and stone including low absorption ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural and manufactured stone using thin-set method of installation.
• 345 Platinum is the ultimate one-step, polymer fortified, thin-set adhesive. For interior and exterior installation of ceramic and stone tile, reduced thickness porcelain, quarry tile, pavers and thin brick. 345 Platinum provides long open time with unsurpassed adhesion and workability.
• PERMACOLOR® Grout - offers the maximum performance available in a cement-based grout, providing consistent colour and antimicrobial protection to resist stain-causing mould and mildew.
• SPECTRALOCK® PRO Grout - a patented, high performance epoxy grout that offers colour uniformity, durability and stain resistance with extraordinary ease of use.
