Ceramic and stone tiles are beautiful and durable surface coverings, but in today’s construction environment a variety of different substrates and conditions present unique installation challenges for walls and floors. This seminar will address the distinctive challenges of dissimilar substrates such as engineered wood, gypsum cement screeds, radiant heated floors, sound-rated floors, and various types of concrete slabs. Both traditional methods and new technology methods will be discussed and, when applicable, related to the details in the 2005-2006 TCA Handbook. Wall installations, specifically in wet areas, will also be covered. Controversial issues such as mold and questionable shower assemblies will be examined. Lastly, the intricate challenges associated with exterior applications will be discussed, to include waterproofing, freeze/thaw cycling, movement joints, flashing, and railing assemblies.
At the end of this program, the participant will be able to:
- Comprehend the challenges associated with tile and stone installations
- Recognize new areas of application that can be attained through the utilization of new installation technology
