What changes the answer
TopicTile substrate assessmentSubstrate assessment considers soundness, flatness, moisture and the intended installation system before tile is set.TopicTile material selectionTile selection considers material, intended location, exposure and the documented performance needs of the project.TopicTile setting materialsSetting materials must be compatible with the tile, substrate and service environment under the applicable instructions.TopicTile movement accommodationMovement accommodation addresses changes and interfaces in the complete tile assembly rather than relying on grout alone.TopicTile installation recordsInstallation records identify products, substrate observations, layout decisions and the conditions relevant to inspection or troubleshooting.ConditionNew tile installationNew tile installation is the use or operating condition applied to this tilesetting.cyou record.
