Testing Basecoat with Our Friends in San Antonio

What's up, everyone! I wanted to share a bit about our recent experience in San Antonio. As you know, here at TopK, we love getting out there and showing off what we do – taking our products to the streets and seeing how people react! And this time, it was Base Coat's turn to steal the show. We were there with a group of contractors and architects – people who know their stuff and demand quality in their projects.

TopK Solutions: Premium Mortars for Superior Construction
