Serenity Pools Sukabumi Project

Prep work is underway on this circular pool project on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. LATICRETE QLD Technical Sales Rep Corey Downes was on-site with Sam and the team at Serenity Pools, who are using a LATICRETE 25 year Sukabumi Pool & spa system. 

First up, the Serenity Pools team is applying 226 Thick Bed Mortar mixed with 3701 Mortar Admix. After this, the team will install Sukabumi stone tiles using LATAPOXY® 300.

We can't wait to see the finished project!

Find out more about the products used:

• 226 Thick Bed Mortar is a factory prepared blend of carefully selected raw materials, portland cement and graded aggregates for use with 3701 Mortar Admix.
