project, but they truly excelled on the installation of the tile on the inside and outside of the cantile- vered leisure/lap pool extension on the Amenities level. Working on a crane that lifted them seven stories into the air, the crew set sheets of black glass mosaic tiles on the interior and exterior sides of the glass-bottomed portion of the pool that extends 13 feet out from the building. They used MAPEI’s Adesilex™ P10 bright white, multi- purpose thin-set mortar formulated with non-sag properties to set the tiles. The Adesilex P10 was mixed with Keraply™ for increased perfor- mance in a submerged installation. After removing the protective cover sheets, the tiles were grouted with Ultracolor Plus FA. A total of 40 different products supplied by MAPEI – from sub- strate preparation to installation of all types of finished flooring – allowed the owners, architects, general contractors and installers, the peace of mind of sourcing all their needs from a single manufac- turer to create a true island beauty.
