LEARN HOW TO MAKE TILE AND STONE INSTALLATIONS LAST Tile and stone are not only beautiful, but also incredibly practical covering materials to choose for your architectural projects. Schlüter- Systems has been providing solutions to protect and finish tile and stone since 1966, with its UK offices opening in 1993. This global market-leader’s breadth of experience is now matched by a variety of learning resources for specifiers in the UK and Ireland – from RIBA Approved CPDs through to Lunch and Learns, educational spaces and even virtual reality (VR). 1) SIT-DOWN SEMINARS AND SESSIONS Schlüter-Systems Ltd’s learning programme provides two different options for architects and specifiers, to suit their needs and priorities. RIBA Approved CPD Seminars 45-60 minutes long, these seminars each focus on a key application area for the tile and stone industry: Specifying Integrated Waterproofing and Wetroom Systems Discusses how you can achieve a watertight foundation for tile and stone that will not only protect an installation, but also the wider project as a whole. Specifying Integrated Underfloor Heating Systems Focuses on the modern advances made in this popular arena, discussing hydronic and electric technologies and their capabilities. Specifying Solutions for Crack-Free Tile and Stone Coverings Covers the recommendations and essential considerations in specifying problem-free coverings that last. Specifying External Applications with Tile and Stone Explores how to counteract the stresses of the environment and achieve functional assemblies.
