Annual Tile Apprentice Contest in Boston!

LATICRETE was pleased to be part of Boston's BAC Local 3 Apprenticeship Program again this year. The program has been a success in Boston since the early 90's, helping hundreds of young men and woman learn a rewarding trade that will last a lifetime.

The apprenticeship program starts with a 10-week pre-job training course and also requires 5,000 hours of on-the-job training under the watchful eyes of veteran journeymen. Above are photos from the annual Apprentice Contest at the BAC Local 3 Training Centre in Boston. The tile-installing contest had the apprentice tile installers preparing a wall to accept ceramic tile. They then installed a combination of 100mm x 100mm ceramic tiles in various colours with a band of tile cut in a diamond shape. After completion of the wall, the apprentices were required to build a mud pan that included a 12º pitch to the drain using 50mm x 50mm mosaic tile on a mud floor. The mosaic tile had to be cut precisely to fit around the circular drain. The judges rated the contestants on overall layout, alignment, proper pitch as well as the precision of any cut tile. Some of the contestants will be chosen to compete nationally as well.

The theme as you can see in the pictures is celebrating the Boston Red Sox 100 year anniversary with LATICRETE's Hydro Ban creating Boston's Green Monster!

South Australia Swim School Project

This 70,000 litre swim school swimming pool was tiled by Chris Durdin in South Australia. Chris set about resourcing and researching the necessary products to create the Blackwood Swim School at Daw Park, SA which Chris' daughter owns.

"As a first time user of your products I could not believe how easy they were to use. I had never laid tiles in my life. I found it was all a matter of timing with the adhesive and grout" said Chris.

Chris used the following products; LATICRETE SpectraLOCK PRO Grout in Bright White, LATICRETE 335 Premium Flexible Adhesive and LATICRETE Hydro Ban.

The Swim School has been open for 3 weeks and has a client base of 200! Well done to all involved!

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.
