Larry Serpa of Key Tile Co. joins us from Vancouver to talk tiling. Opening with talking about heavy tiles on plain drywall, we soon jump right into trim versus other edge options, whether designers should be responsible for small details that are usually left to tradespeople, and the problems with listening to show contractors. Larry shares a few great stories with lessons about accountability, accepting blame and the issue with assuming. The show wraps up discussing the aesthetics versus practicality debate, raising unpopular and underutilized choices like tile floor kitchens and heated surfaces in showers. This episode is a great one for anyone into tile, whether you're a tradesperson or a client.
