LATICRETE technical expertise guides installation of Ultra-thin porcelain panels

. LATICRETE was instrumental in providing  technical guidance for a project in Albuquerque, NM involving Daltile SlimLiteThin Porcelain Panels.

Jeanne Bellamah Community Center, which was built in the early 1970’s, needed a total upgrade and more total space. For this project, Architect G. Donald Dudley AIA, LEED AP was hired by the City of Albuquerque to handle design, while Kells and Craig Architects, Inc. was contracted as the executive architectural firm. At the first field meeting, the architects took the initiative to plan a sense of order for the building's maligned exterior.  According to Don Dudley, "The left-hand portion of the project will be clad in an oxidized steel skin as homage to the age of the existing building, while the new addition is to be clad in a high-tech, ultra-thin porcelain tile cladding such as that which has been successfully used in Europe and recently made its way to American architectural applications.”
