Porcelain Tile Panels: Specification & Use - CEU Course

CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM

1 HOUR CE CREDIT – AIA/HSW, IDCEC/HSW and GBCI

Participants receive a brief history of tile design and the entrance of large format tile. The course describes two methods of manufacturing porcelain tile panels, sizing, and the many applications for the product - going many places traditional would not, including large lobby areas, corridors, ceilings, elevators, doors, stairs, in radial applications, exteriors and tile over tile. Tile over tile is of particular importance offering improved health and safety protection and potential saving in the schedule and budget. The course presents ANSI standards for porcelain tile panels. The course equips students with relevant steps in preparation for an installation including writing the specification, preparation of the substrate, logistics of receiving large panels on the job site, and selecting qualified labor.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Participants will be able to understand the technology, performance, and sustainable attributes of porcelain tile panels, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding their selection and application.
2. Understand the applications and impact of porcelain tile panels on hard surface finish options, including tile over tile benefits and environmental impact.
3. Identify specification considerations and understand the health benefits and cost savings of tile-over-tile applications
4. Differentiate installation methods, emphasize the importance of qualified labor, and apply ANSI 108.19 requirements for specification and installation
