Why CTEF Certified Matters
1-L Tile is a CTEF Certified Tile Installer
CTI #1559 — Ceramic Tile Education Foundation
The CTEF credential is a professional certification developed by the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation and backed by the tile industry's leading manufacturers, including LATICRETE, MAPEI, and Schluter Systems. It represents hands-on training and testing to the industry standard.
We install with professional-grade systems:
- Schluter KERDI waterproofing & DITRA uncoupling
- LATICRETE and MAPEI setting materials and adhesives
- Ebbe premium drains
The Real Difference
Most tile failures come from waterproofing and substrate prep you can't see — a CTEF Certified installer is tested hands-on to the industry standard, the difference between tile that lasts 5 years and 20+.
