Go beyond the surface and discover what makes ceramic tile such a versatile and enduring design material.

Join us for Ceramic Tile 101, an informative virtual Lunch & Learn designed to provide a foundational understanding of ceramic tile—from its design and manufacturing process to performance, sustainability, and industry standards.

Participants will explore the benefits and applications of tile, learn about different tile types and characteristics, and gain insight into how tile is designed and manufactured. The course will also introduce key considerations for sustainable tile selection and provide an overview of relevant tile standards and specifications.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your material knowledge or better understand how to specify ceramic tile, this session offers a practical introduction to the fundamentals.

Grab your lunch and join us for a closer look at one of architecture and design’s most versatile materials.
