AIA East Kentucky - Third Thursday CE Lunch 

The Next Generation Bathroom - SCHL9A

Presented by: Schluter - Jeremy Jhent/Tammy Henry

1 AIA LU

Today’s bathroom has transformed from basic into beautiful. These areas now include large barrier-free spaces, tiled showers, steam showers, and soaking tubs. The flexibility in design is enhanced through the use of tile which combines hygienic virtues with versatility in décor. The result is glamorous bathrooms that are both durable and highly functional.

Moisture management is the foundation of a successful tiled bathroom. Moisture sensitive construction materials must be protected from water and vapor penetration. Leaks and mold continue to pose serious problems for the construction industry. This seminar will compare traditional waterproofing systems with modern waterproofing technology to show how tiled showers have evolved. The fundamentals of both approaches, including proper design, execution, and function will be presented, with close attention paid to common errors. The benefits of bonded waterproofing technology and how it has improved tiled showers will be stressed.

Cost:  FREE* - Lunch and Drinks are provided for AIA members and NCARB AXP participants.
