June LINKS event: Exterior Porcelain Pavers
June 28, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Join Jaime Ruffing with Daltile for an in-person presentation on Exterior Porcelain Pavers. 2cm porcelain pavers are relatively new innovative products in the tile market. The 2cm (3/4″) thickness, as opposed to a typical 3/8″ thickness, allows the product’s use in more application types with superior performance. This course will compare and contrast 2cm porcelain pavers with other hardscape substrates – comparing cost, design, and performance. After taking this course, landscape and hardscape designers will be able to make an informed value judgement based on performance, life cycle, and cost.
Learning Objectives:
- Compare and contrast 2cm exterior porcelain pavers with other substrates such as cement, natural stone, and brick.
- Review a cost analysis comparing various hardscape materials.
- Explore the performance attributes of porcelain pavers that make them the material of choice for commercial exterior hard surfaces and examine the rigorous standards and testing that porcelain pavers undergo, as well as the sustainability of the material.
- Explore how to use 2CM porcelain pavers as a design element, including applications and installation options.
Course will provide 1.0 continuing education credits and provide Health, Safety, and welfare credit.
Lunch will be provided. Email Jackie Dietz with any questions at jackie.dietz@forms-surfaces.com.
