"Times change and so has the world of tiling since the original publication of the bestselling Working with Tile in 2005. Advances in technology and research have brought new installation products and tools to the market, including waterproofing membranes, backerboards, grouts, and cutting tools.

Two all-new sections focus on grouting (which can make or break any job) and working with porcelain and glass tile (a daily challenge to tile and shower door installers and plumbers).
