Architects and specifiers face a constant need to produce technically precise and up-to-date tiling specifications that align with NBS standards. The traditional approach to creating M40 specifications often involves complex, time-consuming processes prone to inconsistencies. With tiling projects requiring meticulous attention to detail, there was a clear demand for a tool that could simplify specification creation while ensuring compliance with British Standard BS 5385, the recognized Code of Practice for wall and floor tiling.

Additionally, the tiling sector has seen a rising need for educational resources to guide professionals through intricate design requirements. A specific challenge frequently encountered by architects is the detailing of tiling onto calcium sulphate screeds, a process that, if mishandled, can lead to significant installation issues.

We worked with Weber to develop WeberSpec, an intuitive, free-to-use online platform that empowers users to generate comprehensive M40 tiling specifications with ease. By registering on www.weberspec.co.uk, architects and specifiers can access a streamlined interface that guides them through project-specific fields such as surface type, substrate, tiling area, and finish requirements. The result is a fully compliant and automatically generated M40 specification tailored to the unique needs of each project.

The specifications produced by WeberSpec are saved to the user’s account for future access or amendments, ensuring continuous project adaptability. To complement this tool, Weber introduced a new RIBA-assessed CPD titled “Floor Tiling onto Calcium Sulphate Screeds,” addressing common industry concerns and educating professionals on critical design and specification processes.

Delivered by Weber’s expert specification team, this 30-minute CPD provides valuable insights into potential pitfalls and best practices for tiling on anhydrite screeds, helping participants enhance their understanding and confidence in achieving flawless installations. This program is available both on-site and at client offices, offering flexibility for individuals and small groups.

Since its launch, WeberSpec has redefined how architects and specifiers approach tiling specifications, significantly reducing the time and complexity involved in generating accurate project documentation. The platform has become a vital resource, supporting Weber’s mission to provide comprehensive technical advice and application support to clients.

The introduction of the RIBA-assessed CPD has further strengthened Weber’s position as an industry leader, fostering knowledge and empowering professionals to tackle challenging tiling projects with greater precision. Together, WeberSpec and the CPD initiative underscore Saint-Gobain Weber’s dedication to advancing the industry through innovation, education and unwavering customer support.
