    Unveiling the Art of Tiling: Navigating the New Standards

    Unveiling the Art of Tiling: Navigating the New Standards

    In this episode of Tiling Connect, we delve into the dynamic world of tiling and explore the intricacies of the latest standards shaping the industry. Our expert guest sheds light on the standards revolutionising how we think about tiling.

    Fred Gray joined LATICRETE in 1992 after more than 20 years of experience in concreting and building.

    Working with concrete structures and swimming pools provided an excellent background for the following many decades in the tile and stone industry.

    As part of his job at LATICRETE, he engaged with industry professionals and networking. The Australian Tile Council played a significant role in this engagement. Regardless of his position in LATICRETE, his work always involved sharing technical knowledge and finding solutions to job site problems, which is also a trait engrained in the ATC.

    As someone who enjoyed working in the technical field, Fred found it easy to implement training, deliver seminars, write technical documents and articles, review problematic jobs, and encourage compliance. When the ATC proposed the development of the current AS3958, he found a way to balance his work and personal goals.

    Whether you're a seasoned professional or a DIY enthusiast, this discussion offers valuable insights into achieving flawless results and staying ahead in the ever-evolving world of interior design. Tune in for an engaging conversation that redefines the artistry of tiling.
