Spring, Texas. “Typically, we’d use a thinset for wall applications, such as the one slated for the concession areas in the new Fertitta Center. So, during Surfaces/TISE West 2018 in Las Vegas, we met together with BPI and Bostik to get a really good picture of the benefits offered by this new material. We were impressed by many of its char- acteristics, and I must state, also by the highly professional way in which the product was presented to us. And of course, as business- people, we were obviously excited learning that with Bosti-Set, it took fewer workers less time for installa- tions to be completed.” Fast forwarding, once all parties were 100% on the same page, the installation process for these interior concourse areas of Fertitta Center began. “In many ways, this was a cham- pionship, total-team effort installa- tion!” beamed Hernandez. “It was the first time Allstate Commercial had ever worked with Bosti-Set, but we know it won’t be the last. The firm’s installers all had an A-game attitude throughout the entire process. Ruben and I were on-site for a great deal of time. It was awesome to witness a state- of-the-art, architectural conception being transformed into structural reality step by step. And even more so, watching our product being used so effectively by those that we had a hand in training, was truly a gratifying experience.” Rusty Dennison added, “Not only was this a winning instal- lation. But at the University of Houston Cougars’ first home game in the brand-new arena, we beat Oregon 65-61!” Bosti-Set is a premium adhesive and sound reduction membrane, created specifically for gauged thin porcelain tile panel installations that immediately grabs porcelain tile panels in a single coat, does not allow for any sag and makes it pos- sible for panels to be repositionable for at least 30 minutes.
