Ceramic floor tile systems can provide a durable finish; however, if internal stresses are allowed to accumulate in the tile system, fractured, buckled, and/or hollow-sounding tiles may develop. Using case studies of residential structures, this paper will discuss common perils that cause damage to ceramic floor tile systems and how these perils can be avoided through proper installation and ma...

The ceramic tile industry has evolved greatly in the recent years to the almost complete automation of the production line. After a decade of improvements in the manufacture, today’s plants are capable of mass produce tiles with little human intervention. However, the planning and scheduling of the orders has not changed much and scheduling the client’s orders in the shop remains as a manually ...
