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.
