From Marilyn King, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of Bowling Green/Warren County:

Our partner families know from the day they receive their deed that they will have no replacement costs for the kitchen and bathroom floors of their home. We could not afford to provide this quality to them without the generous contribution of materials from Louisville Tile and James Hardie Building Products. Any time we can reduce future maintenance costs it is a "win-win" for all involved.

Single-house build: HFH of Bowling Green/Warren County

Project:   One home totaling 500 square feet of floor tile
Affiliate:   Habitat for Humanity of Bowling Green/Warren County

Louisville Tile donated not only ceramic tile but also TEC setting materials, including thinset and sanded grout, for 500 square feet of floor space tiled in the Habitat home of Jacqueline Blair and her two daughters. Habitat volunteers installed the tile on their own because they worked in July with industry professionals to learn the craft. The Blair family moved in to their new home on Dec. 31, 2004. There are no current pictures from this project, but TPFH will post them as soon as they are available.
