Testimonial
"There isn't enough space for me to explain how much I took away from PTK. One very important thing worth mentioning though is that ever since we went there last year, my bottom line has increased. There were so many things that Laticrete offers in terms of support that I didn't even know existed and I utilize them now. A great, simple example is the Lifetime Tile and Stone System Warranty, which has closed more jobs than I can count and justifies my pricing."Jim Picarazzi Jack Splash's Backsplashes and Floors jpicarazzi@gmail.com Rochester, NY Click here for more information regarding Laticrete PTK Educational & Training events. |

Durability & Robust Strength Adhesive Mortar
"I meant to write and tell you about my experience last week with the Angelo State mosaic wall. Some skaters were using it as a "rail" and scratched and scuffed it. Three of the bullnose pieces had chips at the expansion joint. I tried to chisel them off, but the 4237 was SO STRONG that the tile pieces either shattered, taking the glaze of the neighboring piece with them, or they lifted some of the original concrete bench surface with the tile itself. WOW. Not a pleasant repair situation for me, but I can surely testify that the One Step Method sticks like crazy!!!!!!"

The LATICRETE® SUPERCAP® System is a time-saving, cost-effective method in finishing new concrete or capping existing slabs. This proven lean tool provides benefits right from the start of concrete placement in division 3 and flows through to division 9. It's what gives LATICRETE SUPERCAP the confidence to say, "We Own The Floor℠".The LATICRETE SUPERCAP System combines a LEED contributing, GREENGUARD certified, low alkali, self leveling cement-based technology with a computer controlled mobile blending unit (the pump truck).
This revolutionary system benefits the entire project from design to completion by providing predicable results that save time, money, and improve overall quality. We call it .... The Next Generation Slab®.
There’s Nothing Like it in the Industry.

Reference Request Received
I received an email from a tile contractor friend:
"Hi Henry and Kevin,
"Hi Henry and Kevin,
I know Laticrete cannot take sides with their customers, but would you be willing to write a brief paragraph on our tile work?
We use this to send to serious potential clients and your thoughts would be really appreciated.
No rush, I know you both are very busy. And if it is company policy that you don’t provide referrals for contractors I completely understand.
Here is a recently completed project in Makena, South Maui. Existing on grade concrete deck. We used vacuum attached grinders to remove high spots and to provide a clean bonding surface.
Shrinkage cracks were treated with Laticrete Hydrobarrier with fabric reinforcment.
18” tumbled travertine was set with 4XLT and grouted with Permacolor Mushroom. Movement joints filled with Latasil.
All Laticrete products from Hawaiian Ceramic Tile in Kahului,Maui."

Higher Standard Tile & Stone
My Reply to Isaac:
Why I am comfortable writing a referral for Isaac Homza:
Because he is a true craftsman. Because he does carefully thought out, carefully planned beautiful tilework. Because he is the type of tile installer that we would want on our own tile and stone installations ! Because we believe that we are fortunate to be Isaac's installation materials choice on his projects.
"Isaac Homza is a true tile and stone craftsman. He is meticulously careful regarding planning and preparing his tile and stone projects. He is careful and thoughtful regarding the overall installation process from materials selection to Jobsite preparation to actual installation of the tile or stone to final Jobsite cleanup."
