Starting Out Strong: Designing & Specifying the Right Substrates for Durable Tile Installations.
Have you ever been confused about what the most appropriate substrate should be for a tile installation? “Should I specify cement board? Gypsum sheet rock? Backerboard?” “What studs should I use, and at what spacing?” “How do I ensure a quality, durable installation without gold-plating the design?” Our industry experts are here to answer all our questions about the most durable and cost-effective tile installations and shed light on industry trends.
Learning Objectives:
After participating in this interactive moderated panel, the attendee will:
- Be familiar with the available options for substrates beneath tile installations.
- Have a deeper understanding of the impact of framing member stiffness on substrate selection and tile installation durability.
- Recognize the impact of design and specification on the ease of installation and consequent cost of tile installations.
- Be more confident in their knowledge of the sustainability impacts of their design decision-making for tile installations.
Panelists:
