Contractors can count on LevelQuik® Self-Leveling Underlay- ment (SLU) products from Custom® Building Products when installing tile, stone, wood and floor coverings. LevelQuik RS (Rapid Set) offers easier handling and a smoother fin- ish with exceptional workability. Its Controlled Cure Technology™ regu- lates the rate at which water evap- orates during the curing process, prompting fast and consistent hydra- tion, which results in superior crack resistance and greater coverage. Similarly, LevelQuik Primer offers strong adhesion, fast drying, excellent coverage and suitability for use with all common substrates. According to the TCNA Handbook, the maximum allowable substrate variation can be no more than 1/8” in 10’ and 1/16” in 24” when install- ing large-format tile greater than 15” on any side. LevelQuik RS levels a floor from feather edge to 1.5” deep in a single pour. It seeks its own level in minutes and cures rap- idly, with walkability in four hours. www.custombuildingproducts.com MEMBER SPOTLIGHT –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– the opportunity to “change the landscape” from the time we arrive at a job and leave after tiling. I have often said, “Put all the trades in one house at the same time, and people will watch the tile guy.” I think that’s because the people – guys and girls – in the tile trade are passionate artisans who really care about their trade. That describes the members of the NTCA. I have only been a member of the NTCA for a couple of years. Though I’d been setting tile for decades, it wasn’t until joining the NTCA that I was assured that I was “doing it right.” I attend as many workshops as I can, and want to continue learning this trade. Please don’t be THAT guy that says, “Well, I have been setting tile for XX years” and think that makesYOU the expert. It’s the continuing education and train- ing offered with the new products Phil with his invention, the Back Butter Buddy. 60 TileLetter | November 2017
