Glazed Porcelain Pool Installation Using LATICRETE

We are beyond excited to finally share this completed pool project with you! Late last year, Shane Anderson, LATICRETE Technical Sales Rep., shared the beginning of this project, 'Bliss Homes Pool Project' from Bliss Homes at their job site on the Sunshine Coast, Hinterlands, Queensland. The team have completed the 290m² Portabella glazed porcelain pool, installed using a range of LATICRETE materials. We can't wait to see this pool filled with water!

Products used:

• 3701 Fortified Mortar Bed is a polymer fortified blend of carefully selected polymers, Portland cement, and graded aggregates. 3701 Fortified Mortar Bed does not require the use of latex admix, you only need to add water to produce thick bed mortar with exceptional strength.
• LATAPOXY® Moisture Shield is a 2 component, roller applied epoxy coating specifically designed to reduce moisture vapour emissions in concrete and other substrates.
• HYDRO BAN® is a thin, load-bearing waterproofing/crack isolation membrane that DOES NOT require the use of fabric in the field, coves, or corners. HYDRO BAN is a single component self-curing liquid rubber polymer that forms a flexible, seamless waterproofing membrane that bonds directly to a wide variety of substrates.

• 254 is the ultimate one-step, polymer fortified, thin-set adhesive for interior and exterior installation of ceramic tile, reduced thickness porcelain, stone, quarry tile, pavers, and brick. 254, designed to just mix with water, has a long open time with unsurpassed adhesion and workability.
