From Bill Olsen, President, and Elite Cement Products:
“
We are excited about participating in the TPFH. program
for many
reasons. Elite Cement Product's donations provide the
obvious benefit
of lowering costs associated with building a Habitat
house. Just as
importantly, however, the choice of using ceramic tile
will provide
long-term benefits to the homeowner including lower maintenance
costs
and better durability.”
