LATICRETE donates products for 'Extreme Makeover' home
July 29, 2009
LATICRETE donated all the tile installation products for the
prime time ABC television program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition – Indianapolis. Hosted by
Ty Pennington, the two-hour season finale aired on May 17, 2009, documenting
and celebrating a brand new home for Bernard McFarland and his three sons in
the Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood.
LATICRETE contractor sales representative John Holliday
directly supplied the new McFarland home with products from the company's
manufacturing facility in Indianapolis.
The new home, built by Estridge Homes, features porcelain tile donated by
Daltile in the kitchen, backroom, laundry room and mud room, as well as all
bathrooms. In addition, Daltile supplied 24” x 24” large-format porcelain tiles
which were spot-bonded as a full-wall fireplace surround with LATAPOXY 310
Rapid Stone Adhesive, applied with the LATAPOXY 310 Cordless Mixer. With only
one-week to complete the home, LATAPOXY 310 Rapid Stone Adhesive helped speed
up the installation of the fireplace surround and allowed much quicker access
for the other trades involved, the company said.
LATICRETE MVP (Most Valued Partner), Tremain Tile,
Marble & Granite, family-owned since 1921, provided the crew that installed
all of the tiles throughout the house with the donated LATICRETE products. The
porcelain tiled floors and bathroom walls were set with LATICRETE 254R Platinum
Rapid, a one-step, polymer fortified multipurpose thin-set adhesive. To grout
all of the tiles, including the fireplace surround, Tremain Tile, Marble &
Granite used LATICRETE PermaColor Grout.
The Emmy award-winning reality program, now in its 7th
season, airs Sundays from 8-9 p.m., ET on ABC.
