|
Ceramic Tile Failures: How They Occur, How To Prevent |
| |
Presenter is a Certified Ceramic
Tile Consultant (CTC). Ceramic Tile Failures as well as the Causes &
reasons are discussed. Presenter addresses proper specification of
expansion joints, and the use of cleavage membranes for crack isolation
and post tensioned, light-weight suspended concrete slabs. He discusses
proper trowel use for size of tile being installed. He also discusses
ADA requirements and issues concerning ASTM - C1028 testing for slip
resistance. |
|
Specifying Ceramic Tile, CCS Certified |
| |
How to properly specify ceramic
tile using CSI format. Presenter is a Certified Construction Specifier
(CCS). Addresses ADA issues re: slip/fall situations; addresses
installation issues re: waterproof membranes, latex portland cement
mortars & grouts; addresses proper use of ANSI standards for ceramic
tile and the installation of ceramic tile. |
|
Ceramic Tile Failures: Top 5 Reasons |
| |
A Certified Ceramic Tile
Consultant (CTC) and Certified Construction Specifier (CCS) will discuss
issues concerning Hollow Sounding Tiles, Cracked Tiles and/or Grout,
General Workmanship Failures, Use of Improper Tile-Setting Materials,
and Moisture Damaged caused by Mold and/or Mildew |
|
Ceramic Tile & The ADA: Coefficient of Friction Concerns |
|
A Certified Ceramic Tile
Consultant (CTC) and Certified Construction Specifier (CCS) will address
issues concerning the American with Disabilities Act of 1990 and how it
relates to Ceramic Tile. Topics will also include ASTM C1028 testing;
Understanding "Coefficient of Friction"; Liability Considerations;
Understanding Tile Types; and Final Product Selection |
|
Toxic Mold & The Ceramic Tile and Stone Industry |
|
Toxic Mold may well be the
Asbestos of the New Millennium. Architects will learn about Toxic Mold
and the Health Effects and Symptoms Associated with Mold Exposure. They
will learn about Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings.
The Effects of Mold on Ceramic Tile and Natural Stone Installations will
be Discussed. Mold Control by Controlling Moisture will be offered as a
Viable Solution |
|
Proper Specs to Ensure Successful Tile & Stone
Installations |
|
This presentation includes
discussions on proper specifications to avoid installation failures.
Among issues discussed are: specifying expansion/control joints and
cleavage membranes. Problematic substrates like post tension, light
weight suspended slabs, and radiant heated floors will be addressed.
Proper trowel size for larger tiles is discussed along with ANSI and
ASTM standards. Proper specifying to meet ADA ASTM_C1028 requirements is
also addressed. |

Ceramic Tile Specifications To Eliminate Compromising
Design |
|
The Speaker is a Certified
Construction Specifier (CCS) and Certified Ceramic Tile Consultant (CTC).
This power point presentation (lunch box seminar) is centered around how
to write proper ceramic tile specifications utilizing the TCA Handbook
and ANSI Standard Manual. This will help eliminate compromising your
designs and "value engineering" your construction projects with regards
to the use of ceramic tile installation materials and/or methods. |
|
Proper Preparation and ANSI Requirements for Thin-Set Tile |
|
Seminar is conducted by a
Certified Ceramic Tile Consultant and a Certified Construction Specifier.
Howard Pryor,CCS CTC, has 19 years experience in the Ceramic Tile
Industry. He will be discussing the Proper Preparation of Substrates for
accepting Ceramic Tile Installations. Participants will also gain
current Knowledge of TCA Handbook Methods and ANSI Installation and
Ceramic Tile Standards. Areas of discussion will additionally include:
Concrete Preparation, Curing Compounds, Unsuitable and Questionable
Substrates. |
