Underflooring solutions expert Schlüter-Systems is offering architects the chance to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in essential tiling protection with the launch of four exclusive CPD seminars.

The RIBA-accredited CPD seminars, lasting 45 minutes each, allow individuals to remain up-to-date with changes in practice so that they can make more informed decisions about which products to request at specification.

The seminars take place during lunch breaks from any business premises requested, and the training sessions, which cover a diverse range of topics including solutions for tiling balconies, laying underfloor heating and installing wetrooms, are being offered free of charge with a complimentary lunch.

There are four titles available:
• ‘Integrated Solutions for Wetrooms with Tile and Stone Coverings’, provides all the information and knowledge needed to specify a fully integrated wetroom solution;
• ‘Movement Joints and Uncoupling Membranes for Tile and Stone Coverings’, details how to solve problems such as moisture movement in the substrate and drying shrinkage by specifying the appropriate movement joints and uncoupling membranes;
• ‘Balcony and Terrace Solutions for Tile and Stone Coverings’, covers the importance of using effective, modern methods of construction to ensure lasting balcony and terrace installations including waterproofing, and;
• ‘Modular Underfloor Heating Systems for Tile and Stone Coverings’, explains how these systems help to protect ceramic tile and natural stone floor coverings from cracking, splitting, tenting and debonding, it will also explore the theory behind modular screed systems.

Andrew Curry, Schlüter’s Technical and Training Consultant, commented, “It is our intention that by the end of the CPD seminars, the participants will have gained confidence in specifying a range of solutions for tile and stone applications and also learned how to avoid some of the common problems typically experienced as a result of specifying the wrong products.”

All seminars include a 15 minute question and answer session and participants will receive a certificate upon completion.
