EditFrame Tiling School

Our story

EditFrame Tiling School grew from a small workshop notebook filled with sketches and layout grids. We turned those pages into structured, friendly courses that blend trade standards with the warmth of a craft journal.

Today, contractors and homeowners learn together in a space designed for patience: measured cuts, careful waterproofing, and grout that ages gracefully.

Mission

Teach tiling that respects homes, budgets, and building codes—so every learner can deliver durable, beautiful work without stress.

Values

  • Clarity: step-by-step checklists and real-world examples.
  • Safety: substrate and waterproofing practices aligned with standards.
  • Craft: clean layout lines, thoughtful transitions, and tidy grout.
  • Care: honest timelines and no false urgency.
