Beautiful tilework on the TAC Aquatic Centre in Papua New Guinea

Niugini Link as an appointed distributor for Laticrete in the South Pacific Islands facilitated the specification and distribution for the Laticrete swimming pool concourse tiling system for the 2015 South Pacific Games venue, a milestone project in Papua New Guinea. 

Steven W. Sinclair, Managing Director of Niugini Link put into this project a great deal of effort in conjunction with the Laticrete Technical Support Team lead by Fred Gray to insure that the tilework installed with Laticrete Materials will be durable and low maintenance.

Niugini Link and Laticrete continue to enjoy growing success in the PNG market distributing the Laticrete system.

"As a developer and licensed engineer, I don't mess around and cut corners...we only approve use of the best pool waterproofing and setting materials, thus LATICRETE is our first choice for demanding applications such as continuously submerged water conditions such as glass tile swimming pools.

Attached are a couple pics of the last pool (residential hillside all glass tile infinity edge swimming pool and spa) we did at different stages. We used the LATICRETE Tile Swimming Pools, Fountains and Spas Technical Design Manual as our source for specifications and details.

We first used a cement based waterproofer for negative waterproofing, then 254 Platinum bond coat with mortar bed to render/float shotcrete shell to accept tile. After that everything is LATICRETE....another very thin 254 Platinum bond coat to fill voids in mortar bed, then HYDRO BAN® liquid waterproofing membrane, 254 Platinum for paper faced glass tile, SPECTRALOCK® Pro epoxy grout and finally LATASIL™ silcone sealant for expansion joints and penetrations. Needless to say it quite a time consuming and expensive process.

Thanks

Tiled Swimming Pools

The question of installation sequence comes up quite often when waterproofing membranes are included within a swimming pool / spa installation assembly. Note that we at LATICRETE have very specific installation details that outline the proper sequence of installation. 
All leveling / truing up of substrates must be performed prior to the installation of LATICRETE waterproofing membranes. 
The waterproofing membrane must be installed over all leveling mortars in these applications. LATICRETE waterproofing membranes perform best when installed directly under the tiled finish layer.  

See our Architectural detail P-601 above which indicates the proper sequence of installation. This proper sequence of installation appears in our waterproofing membrane product data sheets.
