Now in its fourth edition, Tiling Town will bring together the entire world of tile laying at Cersaie. It has seen a rapid improvement in quality and attracted ever greater numbers of participants and visitors.
Tiling Town 2015 will be divided into 3 separate areas.
- New materials and new installation techniques. In four different stands, the qualified tile layers from Assoposa (TILE LAYERS and MASTER TILE LAYERS) will take turns to demonstrate all the new technologies and techniques for installation and grouting of thin and large format tiles, cutting and finishing tiles and panels, installation on interior and exterior walls, and cleaning and treatment of ceramic surfaces. Numerous demonstrations will be given each day and will be open to all visitors to Cersaie.
- Creation of a mixed media masterpiece: an artistic installation devoted to the world of tile laying that highlights the enormous adaptability of ceramic products to all building and architectural needs.
- Tile laying demonstrations by students at the Silandro building school (Bolzano), the only Italian training institution that took part in Worldskills 2015, the world championships of professional skills held in São Paulo (Brazil) in August. Following last year's success, the school in Silandro (Bolzano) will again be taking part in Tiling Town in cooperation with the association lvh.apa Confartigianato Imprese of Bolzano.
Cersaie 2015 is also hosting a meeting of European manufacturers, retailers and tile layers. For the first time, these players will come together to discuss the short and long term market prospects and to explore many themes of shared interest such as technical training of professionals and the state of international standards governing products and installation methods. The meeting will see the participation of representatives of CET (European ceramic tile producers' association), EUF (European ceramic tile fixers' association) and distributor and retailer associations from several different countries.
