In
1909, the founding members of the Oak Flooring Manufacturers of the United
States (NOFMA’s predecessor) decided to form an organization for the purpose of
“promulgating and administering industry grading rules.”
The use of membranes in tile installations has
grown dramatically during the past decade. Reasons for the growth of membrane
use include increased awareness, architectural specifications, quality
expectations by customers and an increase in the risk (and cost) of failures.
Membranes can protect thin-set tile installation from cracking, provide
waterproofing and/or reduce floor-to-floor noise. Some products provide all
three functions.
Is tile having a growing problem? This month’s
editorial calendar called for an article on Large Format Tile Installation. But
just what does “large format tile” mean anymore? Historically it was defined as
any tile with a size of 8”x 8” or larger, a definition that survives in print
to this very day in the TCA Handbook.
