Laticrete Donates to Haitian Hospital

LATICRETE donated a large amount of tile installation product to a major hospital construction project in earthquake-ravaged Haiti. The National Teaching Hospital in Mirebalais, Haiti, is being built under the direction of Partners in Health, a not-for-profit, Boston-based organization that specializes in providing health services and facilities to those in need worldwide.

In addition to the LATICRETE materials contributed, more than 70,000 square feet of floor tile and 40,000 square feet of wall tile were provided by manufacturers Fiandre, American Ceramics and Dal-Tile.

LATICRETE, which supplied 100 percent of the tile installation materials needed for the hospital project, donated more than $50,000 worth of product. This included 816 LatiPatch to skim the substrate; 86 LatiLevel self-leveling for floor preparation, and a number of pallets of both 4-XLT adhesive thin-set and PermaColor Grout.
