 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:

  • Scott Conwell- Director of Industry Development and Technical Services, International Masonry Institute
  • Jason R. Adams- President of the Ceramic Tile Division, Diverzify Pro
  • Thad Goodman- Construction Design Manager, National Gypsum Company

Moderator: Jeremy Olsen, Senior Associate, UrbanWorks
