Palace Chemicals has introduced a new CPD presentation entitled ‘Successful Specifi cation of Wall and Floor Tiling and how to avoid Common Failures’.
Developed for architects, specifi ers and large contractors, the new presentation provides important information in these key sectors where there is often a lack of information readily available and answers questions frequently asked by architects when contacting Palace’s technical department. Its also a great way to keep CPD qualifi cations up to date.
The main topics covered are as follows:
Considerations when specifying tiling for fl oors • Tiling over timber-based substrates. • Tiling over different screed types. •
Best practice fl oor tiling installation.
Considerations when specifying tiling for walls • Weight loading limits of substrates. • •
Correct preparation.
Best practice wall tiling installation. Environmentally friendly adhesives
The contents are RIBA-approved, so anybody viewing the presentation can be confi dent that the information is accurate, up-to-date and not commercially biased. The CPD is being delivered as a face-to-face seminar, either at the customer’s premises, at Palace Chemicals’ training facility in Liverpool, one of Palace Chemicals customer locations or virtually over Teams. “With one of the widest ranges of tiling adhesives and preparation products on the market, we know we have a lot to offer the specifi cation sector,” says Steve Ball, Commercial Director. “Our new CPD presentation is one of a number of initiatives we have taken recently to demonstrate our competence and enhance our offering, and we are really looking forward to presenting it to members of the infl uential A&D market!”
