UltraTile says it’s passionate about supporting the tiling industry and does everything it can to further develop the careers and skills of the tilers working within it.
The company’s online Training Academy offers resources designed to help you continue your learning and brush up on the latest tiling techniques, whether you are at home or out on site.
Visitors to the academy can learn from industry experts and members of the tiling community, as well as UltraTile’s training experts, all by registering for one of the company’s free webinars.
The calendar covers an array of topics including external tiling, tiling Q&A, expansion joints, large format tiling, grouting solutions and more.
Prefer your training in-person? The company also offers Academy Days at its bespoke indoor facilities. Suitable for the most experienced contractors and those just beginning their tiling career, the company says, these events cover a range of topics including tile adhesive selection, external tiling systems and substrate preparation.
These events are hosted by Alan Collins and Fred Whitehouse, expert trainers with decades of experience working in the tiling, flooring and construction industries. “You are certain to come away with lots of great tips for use on your next project,” the company says.
One group which has benefited from UltraTile’s expertise is the Tilers Community Facebook group. Over 100 group members attended an Academy Day in 2023 and experienced the training, hospitality, freebies, product prizes and the opportunity to network with other tilers and suppliers.
In response to group feedback, the company has now taken its Academy Training Days “on tour” to make it even more accessible for members to attend this free training.
At the 2024 Tile Association Awards, UltraTile won the Excellence in Marketing Award for its partnership with Tilers Community – a collaboration which has resulted in significant benefits for both organisations, and most importantly, the tiling industry as a whole.
UltraTile’s campaign manager, Lynne Flavell, was also awarded with the Employee of the Year Award. Nominated by Tilers Community founder, Sam Hoffman, Flavell was presented with the award for her hard work and dedication to providing the tiling industry with free of charge, bespoke, in-person and online training events.
