Description |
Manufacturers produce a variety of beautiful and durable tiles, but the availability of coordinating trim pieces can be limited. This has led to the development of a wide range of trim profiles. This seminar will focus on how trim profiles improve the integrity of tile installations and increase the versatility of tile in various applications, including floors, walls, countertops, and more. At the end of this presentation, the participant will be able to: 1. Identify tile trim profiles and understand their basic design and function. 2. Understand how to incorporate trim profiles into specific ceramic tile and dimension stone tile applications, including floors, walls, countertops, and more. | |

Mandated requirements for accessibility in Canada and demand from an aging population, is creating a growing need for barrier-free bathrooms. Today’s accessibility compliant bathroom no longer has to be utilitarian or “institutional” in its design. Design options are enhanced through the use of tile and innovative construction methods. The result is beautiful bathrooms that also adhere to accessibility standards for accessible design. This seminar will examine ways in which barrier-free environments can be customized to include various design elements while remaining compliant for accessibility. This seminar will also address why bonded waterproofing technology lends itself to the construction requirements of barrier-free design. | |

This seminar will examine the advancement of radiant heat and sound control for today's construction, and how it effects the tile and stone industry. Tile and stone have excellent heat conduction qualities, but not as exceptional for sound abatement. Combining the two can be confusing, and if not properly addressed. could cause failure in the tile or stone floor. However, with proper details and specifications, the combination of in floor heat and sound control could offer a long term, maintenance free flooring assembly that adds great value to a project. | |
