Over 10 years of research and development!

Never before has a pre-mixed grout offered the superior strength and performance of an epoxy, now found in SPECTRALOCK® 1. This grout offers all the benefits of SPECTRALOCK epoxy grout without the hassle of mixing. SPECTRALOCK 1 provides exceptional durability, extreme versatility, and excellent colour consistency. This grout meets ANSI A118.3, meaning it’s approved for commercial installations.

I believe the sale starts on the initial phone call. I highly recommend you prepare a list of the 6 questions or more that you should be asking every potential customer before you run out to their house to give an estimate.

Tom Smith is a Tile Contractor in the state of Kentucky, he is an NTCA ambassador.

Tom has a background very different from most tile contractors I know!

In the 90s he started working for a large Architectural firm as a construction administrator, eventually working as their director of construction. He was in charge of over 30 people, administering 250+ million a year of public projects.

15 years ago he chose to change things up and go to work as a tile subcontractor.

Have a listen to learn more about the reasons he chose this instead of pursuing the former.
