NTCA announces Russian Version of Trowel and Error Video
NTCA now provides the Trowel and Error video in Russian, Spanish, and English. Trowel and Error is a short educational video that depicts the proper way to key in and trowel thin-set mortar for the installation of ceramic tile and natural stone. This video has assisted thousands of installers to help them achieve consistent mortar coverage to bond the tile or stone to the prepared substrate. It was developed by the National Tile Contractors Association in 1999 and quickly gained national and international acceptance. Thanks to the generosity of Custom Building Products, the video was recently re-produced and formatted to modern digital platforms. A Spanish version was quickly translated and has seen significant engagement on the NTCA You Tube channel.
