4XLT – Steve laid the whole shower without spacers – he is an artist

Permacolor grout


"Here's some photos of that shower I told you about, as I said the homeowner was amazed with the products we were using and the fact that we did not need spacers 'cause we used 4xlt."

Mr Happy floating the competion away

Message from a tile contractor friend:

"The board he is floating on is the orange company's product. I have something up my sleeve .......

Its how ya test the products to the extreme and make a home owner understand. I took my Laticrete waterproof membrane box that I made to an estimate this am."

Being Competitive

In August of 2009 we launched the Laticrete Hydro Barrier waterproofing membrane product to aggressively compete at a lower price point with a superior value.

Up to now Laticrete Hydro Barrier was only available in a 3.5 gallon container. Starting 5/31/10 it will be available in a One Gallon container size covering 50 SF with two coats.

Laticrete Hydro Barrier varies from our flagship product, HydroBan, as follows:

Allows for flood tested in 24 hours at 70ºF (21ºC) or above
Requires the use of fabric in the coves, corner, and changes of plane and around drains for waterproofing only; (it is not required for anti-fracture applications)
Backed by the Laticrete 5 Year System warranty
Changes from a light blue to a darker blue when cured
Allows for foot traffic in 4 to 6 hours @ 70°F (21°C) 50% RH

The following attributes remain the same for both Laticrete Hydro Barrier and HydroBan.

Anti-fracture protection up to 1/8” (3mm)
GREENGUARD low VOC certified
IAPMO Approved as a shower pan liner
Extra Heavy rating per ASTM C627 “Robinson Floor Test”
Passes ANSI A118.10 and A118.12
Thin; only 0.020-0.030” (0.5-0.8 mm) thick when cured
Inhibits stain causing mold and mildew growth in the substrate with Microban® antimicrobial product protection
Single component
Paint roller, brush, trowel or airless spray applied
Lighter color for easier inspection
Safe - no solvents and non-flammable
