Following a recent meeting of the Floor Covering Leadership Council in Dalton, we sat down with Mohawk Industries’ Tom Lape to get his take on the characteristics of the installation situation.
A beautifully crafted and long-lasting stall shower can take a significant amount of time to plan, bid, and fabricate, but it can be ruined quickly if the tile installer doesn’t watch other trades working in the same space.
Without some degree of surface preparation, it’s highly unlikely that a concrete slab or wood-framed subfloor will be flat enough to meet the requirements for large-format tile. A quick check with a straightedge often shows that a small area or perhaps the entire surface dips and undulates outside of industry standards.
We launched our latest initiative, Fuse Technical, at the Fuse Alliance annual conference held recently in Orlando, Fla. Our goal was to find a way to build a closer relationship with interior designers and architects as it relates to the technical component of flooring.
