Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and even lowly podcasts are flush with options, opportunities, and opinions of how you should be installing porcelain panels or what tools you should buy with your money. How do you find the right fit to fill your needs on the job? What are the critical tools you absolutely need to buy to be effective with porcelain slabs? For Beno J. Gundlach's John Roberts, knowing the industry was about to change meant he needed to find ways for his 40-some years of experience to be best used for those coming up in the ranks.
As a CTEF evaluator for CTI tests, and someone I have personally known for many years, we thought it would be a unique conversation to see how the trainers and tooling companies have adjusted as the popularity of porcelain slabs has sky rocketed the last few years. What changes in tools are coming, what has he seen in the earlier trainings from the NTCA, and what does he hope installers learn before jumping onto their first job? Give a listen to John as we go through the industry at large.
