Due to the growth of large-format and gauged porcelain tile (GPT), the use of self-leveling underlayments (SLUs) have also become more frequent in tile installations.
During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a huge upswell in home improvement and renovation spending, which led to a pretty significant uptick in projects incorporating floor heating.
The standards found in the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) A108.02 document provide the installation method standards used to provide a good looking and long-lasting tile project. When they are followed, the job is headed for success, but when they are not followed, it may be doomed from the beginning.
The tile industry has established installation standards in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) documents to guide all involved: the design professional, the general contractor and the tile installer.
