This was a very successful project for us and I believe all parties involved – including the owner – are pleased with the finished product.” A LATICRETE Solution In the mall and food court, LATICRETE® NXT™ Level or DRYTEK® LEVELEX™ self-leveling underlayments, NXT™ Skim skimcoat and patching compound, FRACTURE BAN™ crack isolation membrane, 4-XLT Rapid or 4-XLT large- and-heavy-tile mortars, PERMACOLOR® Select high-per- formance, cement-based grout and LATASIL™ silicone sealant were utilized. In the bathrooms, NXT™ Level or DRYTEK LEVELEX, NXT Skim, HYDRO BAN® waterproof- ing and crack isolation membrane, 4-XLT, SPECTRALOCK® PRO Premium Grout epoxy grout and LATASIL were used. Crossville, Inc., another major player in the remodel, provided its Shades porcelain tile collection in honed Frost, unpolished Mist, Ash, and Thunder, in 6” X 24” (150 mm x 600 mm) and 12” X 24” (300 mm x 600 mm) formats, as well as its Laminam by Crossville porcelain tile wall panels. To facilitate the successful installation of the Crossville porcelain tile, LATICRETE products were used across the installation. Said Brooks, “The LATICRETE products that were used on the project were all fast-setting in order to return the main mall areas back to service in a timely manner.” Outcome The project, which began in April 2016, would be completed on time almost six months later on the eve of the holiday shopping season. Project designer Suzy McHenry of Omniplan gave some insight into the CoolSprings vision, noting, “In our design, we sought to express Franklin’s unique regional influences with a contemporary aesthetic that stays true to the area. “Our design resolves authenticity with modern mate- rials that elevate the shopping experience,” she added. “These finishes include stainless steel handrails, por- celain tile pattern from material manufactured in Tennessee, and quality stone. “We went with a much darker floor than our client has ever used on other properties,” McHenry noted. “Rather than using a beige tone, we opted for the cool palette of the grays with a pop of white.” For the wet walls of the bathrooms, the design team utilized Laminam by Crossville for its clean look and durability, especially for the harsh and wet condi- tions of a public bathroom. The remaining bathroom walls feature Crossville’s Ready to Wear in unpolished Button Up with accents of Groove Glass in the grey Rumba tone. Like McHenry, Corbett Drew, senior property manag- er, CBL, noted the project featured all things Tennessee. “Some may find it interesting that CBL’s headquar- ters, Crossville’s plant and CoolSprings Galleria are all separated by a couple hours’ drive time, making this floor bought, produced and placed in the state of Tennessee.” As a senior property manager for the owner, Drew endeavored to involve all of the flooring system suppli- FEATURE STORY (continued) David Allen Company was another installation crew, here installing the Crossville Shades porcelain over skim-coated FRACTURE BAN crack isolation membrane.
