This practice-focused product is designed to help candidates reinforce the major trade subjects covered by the California C-54 examination while becoming more comfortable applying tile and stone knowledge to multiple-choice questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe California C-54 Ceramic and Mosaic Tile classification covers contractors who prepare surfaces as necessary and install glazed wall tile, ceramic tile, mosaic tile, quarry tile, pavers, faience, glass mosaic, stone tile, thin tile resembling full brick, and natural or simulated stone slabs for bathtubs, showers, and horizontal surfaces inside buildings. The classification also includes tile units installed using traditional or innovative tile methods while excluding hollow or structural partition tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTile and stone contracting requires more than setting material on a surface. Candidates should understand plans, estimating, substrate preparation, membranes, setting materials, grout, movement joints, layout, cutting, wet-area construction, stone characteristics, specialty installations, repairs, restoration, and job-site safety.
