In this presentation we look at the wide array of trends in the ceramic tile and natural stone industry and how these options have the potential to further the health, safety, and well-being of a building’s occupants. However, to gain the full benefits of ceramic tile and natural stone for projects, it is important to know how to specify products in a thorough manner for specific needs. In this presentation, we look at how the exciting options in the world of ceramic tile and stone, combined with the knowledge of how to budget, set expectations, and collaborate with manufacturers and other stakeholders, can lead to the best possible outcomes for a building and its occupants. Specifying for installation and obtaining highly qualified installers will lead to meeting aesthetic and functional expectations. Proper and thorough specification can also exceed expectations in terms of occupant happiness and, in the face of climate change, the environment.
