This past week after performing a construction final inspection on a new condo, I had an Agent ask me if there was a standard for tile flooring installation. I told her that I'd look into the question and share my findings...

True or False? There is a recognized Standard for ceramic tile installation.

True - To paraphrase that famous quote..."Yes, Virginia, there really is a Standard." The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has established Standard A-3.3.7, which outlines the proper installation allowances for ceramic tile. This ANSI guideline is recognized as The Standard for tile installation by all major professional tile associations.
