TEC® Exterior Tile Installation webinar recording available online

Words: Truskill ConstructionSponsored by TEC® and hosted by the National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA), TEC® presented its “Strategies for Exterior Tile Installations” webinar in summer 2015 with the help of Technical Support Manager, Tom Plaskota. A recording of the presentation is now available to the public.

The webinar broke a new record for NTCA registration, and more than 125 tile and flooring contractors tuned in to learn more about products and strategies for successful outdoor tile installations. The presentation stressed the importance of careful tile selection, substrate preparation and mortar and grout selection.

Plaskota used his 30 years of tile and flooring industry experience to cover all aspects of a well-executed exterior tile installation. The highly-informative webinar resulted in an exciting and engaging dialogue amongst its viewers.

To keep the conversation going, a recording of the webinar has been made available at http://bit.ly/1RMajRB for those who were unable to attend.
