Alex Bachrach of Architectural Record moderates a discussion on gauged porcelain panel tile featuring Steve Clem of TVS Design, Bart Bettiga of National Tile Contractors Association, and Pasha Starykov of Star Tile & Stone. Clem provides several case studies showcasing some of the advantages of gauged porcelain tile in both renovation and new construction projects. Starykov offers a perspective as a contractor who learned the art of installing gauged porcelain panels. The group offers insight into the necessary planning and preparation that architects and contractors should expect from these installations, as well as discussing the ever-increasing possibilities for durability and aesthetic design.
