In partnership with Habitat for Humanity, Laticrete International recently donated tile-setting materials and manpower for a two-day installation of ceramic tile floors in two New Haven, Conn., homes. The 12-person team, led by Laticrete’s Art Mintie, director of technical services, installed ceramic tile floors in the kitchen, main entrance and bathrooms.

“Laticrete was thrilled to help out in this worthy cause,” he said. “We are heavily committed to helping the community that has been our home for more than 50 years.”

The volunteer team installed the floors using Laticrete 254R Platinum Rapid Multipurpose Thin-Set Mortar and PermaColor Grout.
