The Woes of Pool Tile: What Went Wrong? (Room 401)

Whether you're a pool builder, tile installer or end user, if you've been around pool tile for any period of time, chances are you've experienced some challenges. And if you've worked in extreme weather, used glass tile, or any of the "latest and greatest" fool proof installation systems, you can double that sentiment... at the very least. This class explores 5 of the most common pool tile failures; Cracks, Delamination, Surface spalling, Excessive leaching, & Discoloration,and systematically reviews the most probable reasons they occur. If you've experienced any of these, chances are you've also experienced the finger pointing that goes along with it.

"Knowledge is Power", and this class is sure to arm you with the knowledge to either avoid mistakes on the front end or defend yourself on the back end.
