I think this
partnership will help us educate our affiliates across
the country to the importance of building a house
that is usable by the families and which, by its
very nature, will be easy to clean and the families
will be able to keep clean at a very minimal expense.

Habitat for Humanity
of Laredo/Webb County
(Texas, July 2004)
Laticrete donated setting materials, including thinset
and SpectraLock grout, to help tile six homes in Rio
Bravo, Texas, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity
of Laredo/Webb County. The homes are part of a larger
Habitat neighborhood set in a new development near
the US/Mexican border. Since the neighborhood is new
and would not have paved roads until after the families
had moved in, the affiliate requested tile floors so
that they would be durable and able to withstand heavy
dirt traffic from the unpaved roads outside. Rick Alvarado,
Laticrete technical sales representative in southwest
Texas, spent several days working with the affiliate
to teach homeowners and volunteers to tile and grout
the new homes.
