Step into the wild world of tile installation where science meets style! Based on the Tile Council of North America (TCNA) Installation Guide, this course breaks down the secret recipe for tile success—from choosing the right tiles, mortars, and trowels to prepping the perfect substrate.

We’ll uncover the surprising chemistry behind tile bonds and see how environmental conditions like moisture and temperature can make or break an installation. Plus, we’ll dive into real-world forensic engineering case studies to dissect dramatic flooring failures, spot common installation flaws, and figure out where a job gone wrong crosses the line into an insurance claim.

Whether you’re looking to master installation science or solve messy tile mysteries, come crack the code on what keeps tile grounded!
