ASID is partnering with Global Granite for two CEU's back-to-back with lunch!

CEU1: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

CEU Description: Sintered Stone Basics: Design, Application & Sustainability:

Materials used on exterior and interior surfaces need to withstand many

elements, including water, scratches, high temperatures, UV, wind, etc. Choosing a material

is certainly influenced by the ability to hold up over time but also by the available size and

weight, maintenance, hygiene, bending properties, recyclability, VOC, not to mention the

appearance and cost-effective installation.

There is one new product category that will be the focus of this course, namely Sintered

stone Surfaces that can be used for a wide variety of application interior and exterior from

countertops to curtain walls applications in both residential and commercial buildings.

Lunch 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM

CEU2 - 12:30pm - 1pm

CEU Description: Vetrazzo - Recycled Glass Surfaces

Explain sources of waste glass and the “upcycling” process of using them to produce

recycled glass surfaces.

Evaluate the sustainability of recycled glass surfaces by its contents, manufacturing process,

business practices and complete life cycle, proximity of sources in relation to manufacturing,

as well as how it fits into a sustainable building, including potential LEED contribution.

Compare key performance criteria of recycled glass surfaces with other types

of surfacing material.

Describe case studies that utilize recycled glass surfaces to achieve maximum

performance and sustainability.
