@vivianvolz @CSI_SCV That’s a 5-star or Trowel of Excellence installation firm, using individual installers with ACT certification in the skills for GPT. Written test and hands-on skills assessment.

@vivianvolz @CSI_SCV Tilers should be ACT certified for thin porcelain tile.

[CSI San Francisco Chapter @csi_sf_chapter]

@vivianvolz @CSI_SCV However much your tile varies in face size/joint size, triple that is your nominal joint size. And movement joints are bigger.

[CSI San Francisco Chapter @csi_sf_chapter]

@vivianvolz @CSI_SCV There’s some equipment investment for tilesetters, and lots of training.

[CSI San Francisco Chapter @csi_sf_chapter]

@vivianvolz @CSI_SCV The right thinset mortar. Directional troweling. Timing is critical. Use buffing pad on orbital sander to push out the air from behind the tile.
