This high-performance, highly- deformable, polymer-modified mortar is formulated with Easy Glide Technology™ for ease of application. MAPEI Ultralite S2 features a long open time, extended coverage and superior transfer properties to enhance back-buttering, which is ideal for thin porcelain tiles as well as ceramic tiles and stone material. MAPEI Ultralite S2’s unique Ultralite Technology™ provides twice the coverage of a standard thin-set mortar per pound/kg and is TCNA Green Squared Certified for use on sustainable projects. www.mapei.com tiles are described should be suf- ficiently neutral to allow companies to market and label them however they choose to brand their products. Any effort to mix individual compa- ny marketing needs with the labels in a standard would be unlikely to achieve true consensus. To this end, the proposed standard was labeled, “American National Standard Specifications for Gauged PorcelainTiles and Gauged Porcelain Tile Panels/Slabs.” The standard is so named because the properties in Tables 4 – 6 are based on a narrow (i.e. gauged) range of thicknesses. Further, it allows manufacturers to choose how to label their products depending on their marketing, i.e. either as panels or slabs. The next ANSI A108 Committee meeting will be held at Total Solutions Plus, Hyatt Indian Wells Resort near Palm Springs on Friday, October 21, 2016. In the mean- time, many groups of stakeholders and interested parties are meeting separately, and with TCNA, to work towards further understanding and consensus. The projects Following are a number of recent projects that use gauged porcelain tile panels for interior and exteri- or application. As was described in the Laminam by Crossville entry, installers trained in the handling and installation of these products were employed on the job.
