In today’s world, it is obvious innovation is at an all time high. The technology driving the development of products is advancing at such a rapid speed there seems to be a continuous cycle of introductions in most markets.
The new Robert D. Love Downtown YMCA in Wichita, KS, contains more than 50,000 square feet of mosaic and large format tile. Its installers turned to TEC products to aid with fast-paced tile installation in a variety of challenging environments.
Recognizing the need in the marketplace for a mortar that would deliver successful large-format tile installations, MAPEI has developed Kerabond T, a premium-grade, nonsag, nonslump mortar for use in thin-set and medium-bed tile installations on interior/exterior residential and commercial floors and walls.
In an effort to expand certification and training efforts in the tile and stone industry, the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF) Board of Directors recently appointed Bart Bettiga as its Executive Director.
In every floor-covering segment there are times when technology and innovation cross paths, shake hands and come together to take some seriously large steps forward in product advancement. In the tile industry, nowhere has this been more apparent of late than in format; when you walk into a showroom and encounter single tiles of scope and scale larger than a full-grown human, you know something’s changed.
