This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

Thick 2 cm (20 mm) porcelain tiles that are specifically made for outdoor installations offer a blend of design, versatility, performance, simplicity of installation, and eco-sustainability. Many of the concerns regarding substrate preparation, bond failure, and slip resistance associated with laying thinner tiles outdoors are eliminated. This course discusses the material characteristics and installation of thick outdoor porcelain tiles—a paving system with high technical and visual performance.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Discuss why by its makeup and performance porcelain tile is considered a sustainable building product.
  • Discuss the advantages of using a 20 mm (2 cm) thick porcelain paving system in hardscape designs.
  • List and describe the visual and technical performance characteristics of thick 20 mm (2 cm) porcelain tiles made specifically for outdoor usage.
  • Identify the different foundation options and installation methods for outdoor porcelain paving tiles.
  • Identify the industry technical specifications and certifying bodies that define green porcelain tile and discuss how porcelain tile may contribute to qualifying for credits under LEED®
