Description

This seminar focuses on the factors that damage ceramic and natural stone tiles when fixed to various substrates. It will look at the advantages and disadvantages of tiling on different substrates, the creation of shower floors, the installation of foam cored boards and how they can also be used for heat insulation and impact sound reduction. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:

- Why ceramic and natural stone tiles become damaged when fixed to different substrates
