On the cover: For a remodel of a master bath in
a home in Davie, FL, a mix of glass mosaics and porcelain tile created a chic contemporary feel. The design included 12- x 24-inch porcelain oor and wall tiles accented by 2- x 2-inch Santa Vincent Brick Glass & Metal Mosaic tiles, which shine as
a distinct accent on the vanity backsplashes, mini shelves around the tub, shower wall and shower niche. The small, yet luminescent tiles incorporate shades of orange, brown and gray, and have unique striations running through each individual square.

Volume: 92 | Issue: 1 | Download
We were discussing this issue at the lab the other day after seeing a new series of problems with some of the most popular products in the flooring market.
Carpet tile will inherently have a bit of doming so that when pressed in place it fits snugly. This physical characteristic which is very slight, nearly imperceptible, has always been part of carpet tile. However this also now presents a new dilemma. Too much dome and you get the "pillow or quilted" appearance.
The adhesive used to install carpet tile, though not meant to hold the tile flat, does have enough tack to pull the tile down enough so very minimal doming would not be noticed and when the tile relaxes it will settle in.
The dilemma occurs when using tabs to install lighter weight carpet tile, obviously without any adhesive so any dome in the carpet tiles can be visible. The weight of the tile also comes into play. With carpet tiles getting lighter in weight overall, not being held in place with adhesive and only affixed in place by tabs in the corners there is nothing to prevent the carpet tiles from assuming a natural doming physical position. This is a new twist on what we have begun to see with carpet tiles.
Will they fix themselves on the floor?

On the Cover: Paying homage to native resources, the new Performance Center
at the University of Southern Indiana in Evansville, IN, is constructed of local red sandstone — quarried at a small site nearby. Work on the new facility began
not long after the renovation and expansion of the adjoining Student Center. The combination of stone and glass of both buildings brings a fresh contemporary aesthetic to the campus. Design by Holzman Moss Bottino Architecture, New York, NY. Story begins on page 68.
