  • “HYDRO BAN 1 is amazing, we love it! We were behind on a job, and it helped us get back on track. You’ve got a real winner here.”

  • “Great way to shave time off a job, between the two products (HYDRO BAN 1 and Instant Cure) we can turn 5 days worth work and wait time into 1 or 2 days.”

    Jim M.

  • “Using MULTIMAX™ 1 for my mosaic at Coverings was so good to use. I have used so many adhesives in the past and I can say MULTIMAX 1 is definitely the best I have used yet! I only use the best for my artwork, that's why I use LATICRETE.”

  • “SPECTRALOCK 1 is the only premixed I’ll use. It gives the best of both worlds between cement grout and epoxy. It spreads and cleans up very similar to standard grout but with added epoxy-like qualities. The clean-up process alone makes it worlds better than other premixed grouts. Between that and the fact that it gets harder and cures faster than other premixed and can be used in many places other can’t. It’s my go-to for premixed/1-component grouts.”

  • “As a contractor and homeowner, I can’t rave enough about SPECTRALOCK 1! This pre-mixed grout is a cinch to apply and keeps its vibrant color locked in. After four years of daily use by multiple people in my home’s shower, it still looks brand new—stain-resistant and effortless to clean. For pro jobs or my own space, SPECTRALOCK 1 delivers unmatched durability and a flawless, fresh finish every time!”

  • “I've used SPECTRALOCK 1 on several projects over the last couple years. It's a great upgrade from standard grout and adds a bit more protection. Follow the directions, and it's a great product to work with, cleans up easy, and the color consistency is spot on. Compared to others with pre-mix grout, hands down SPECTRALOCK 1 all day is by far the best!!”
