Tile crafts- man Jesus Villalobos created the elaborate, sweeping cuts that mimic river and rock formations. Gensler chooses Stone Source, SpecCeramics and Crossville porcelain Gensler’s interior design team composed the patterns using por- celain tile from Stone Source, SpecCeramics and Crossville. “Our design intent was to bring the natu- ral forms into the interior space adding warmth and a fluid floor pattern,” said Sean Park, project architect with Gensler. “On the practical end, the porcelain tiles are an excellent choice as they are durable for high-traffic commercial use and meet the slip coefficient.” All the tile on this fast-track proj- ect was set with a rapid-setting polymer-modified mortar from CUSTOM that allowed grouting in as little as two hours. Installers used 1/2” x 1/2” by 1/2” square notch trowels and back buttering to achieve a minimum 90% mor- tar coverage to the back of the tiles. Fusion Pro was applied with SuperiorBilt® ProBiltSeries™ Stone Grout Floats, which are ideal for use with textured tile. After grout- ing was completed in each area, movement joints were filled with permanently flexible CUSTOM Commercial 100% Silicone Sealant. “Fusion Pro has been perfect for this project since day one,” offered Moore. “The ease of cleaning is going to be great for the owners and it should perform well for this mall for many years to come.” FEATURE: CUSTOM's Fusion Pro® Grout is selected to guard against stains 42 TileLetter | November 2016
