Large Format Tile Design and Installation Best Practices

Learn about the various types of tile, setting methods, system components, and quality assurance methods outlined in ANSI A108 and the Tile Council of North America (TCNA) Handbook. We’ll address design and installation requirements for large format tile, including substrate preparation and floor flatness standards. You’ll walk away with an understanding of ANSI requirements for mortar coverage, grout joint width, allowable lippage, layout and bonding, and other aesthetic and functional criteria. Get connected with recommended specification language for installer qualifications, as published in the TCNA Handbook and MasterSpec. You’ll also have the opportunity to take part in a Q&A with qualified, experienced installers.
