So Where Did The Name Laticrete Come From ...?

Henry,
Just thinking to myself , I was making some bullnose in the shop this morning for a job and my attention was brought to one of your banners I have hanging on the walls and the word "Laticrete", where did that word come from?

"Henry,

I want to second what Mark said. I used to work on large commercial jobs where we bought pallets of thinset and 4237 and 3701 and SP-100 Epoxy, but now I am just a guy running my own small company where some weeks I am glad to use a couple bags of thinset. But Laticrete has taken an interest in my small company and even provided some free products. Mahalo!"

Are we YOUR supplier of tile & stone installation materials ..?

If not, would you please give us a try ...? Give us the opportunity to earn your respect ... and your business. Thank you.

A Nice Message

I now have a smile on my face ....

"Henry, I guess I could send you this in a PM but I wanted to thank you in public for your interest in my company. Your rep Lee came to see me a few weeks ago and filled my brain with all kinds of useful information.
Thank you also for the bags of 255 Multimax. I tried some on my last shower and quite enjoyed it.
I am but a one man show (sometimes w/ a helper) and I know I'm not a huge $$ customer to any supplier but it was very kind of you guys to take the time to introduce me to Laticrete. I have been using some Hydroban also. Customer service goes a long way in my book.
Thanks,"

Snow In North Carolina

"A picture of my son and daughter playing in the 15” of snow that we got in Western North Carolina right before Christmas. My son Braden did not have a hat so I let him borrow mine. Caroline and Braden had a nice time playing and wearing me out. We do not get much snow so it was a treat for them."

Ice Fishing

One of our Laticrete guys likes to do a bit of ice fishing.

"This is what you call die hard ice fishing, 12˚F with winds up to 40 mph and snowing. Unfortunately the fishing wasn’t real great."

SpectraLOCK

Message from a Tile Installer:

"The spectralock arrived today right on time and saved the day. The bathroom looks excellent. Spectralock is a wonderful product to work with. After 8 pro units we've got this down pretty good and have no fears of using it much more often."
