The company specializes in the development of latex-fortified portland cement-based mortar as well as tile and stone installation systems, the company’s largest business channel. Laticrete also manufacturers resinous flooring.[1], masonry veneer systems, stone and tile cleaning systems, and waterproofing, anti-fracture, and sound deadening membranes. Recently, the company has developed their own branded radiant electric floor warming system[2] and acquired the underlayment company, Supercap[3]
History[edit]
Laticrete is a family business that was founded in 1956 by Dr. Henry M. Rothberg[4], a chemical engineer. Dr. Rothberg began a research and development program with Uniroyal Chemical in Naugatuck, Connecticut with a goal to introduce latex to traditional portland cement-based mortar. His research became the foundation for today’s thin-bed method of installing tile and stone[5] as an alternative to the thick, heavy mortar beds[6] that were once used by flooring contractors.
