A tile industry trade association that develops standards, supports testing and publishes installation guidance.
The Tile Council of North America, known as TCNA, is a trade association for the tile industry. Its website describes research, testing and the development of industry criteria for health, safety, sustainability and quality, and it publishes standards and installation resources. Homeowners in Nashville rarely see it directly, but its work influences how tile is made and installed.
We are an independent contractor and follow accepted installation practices for tile backsplashes, showers and tile counters. We explain what flat walls, proper mortar coverage, movement joints and correct waterproofing mean for the life of your tile, and we plan the layout and setting with those details in mind.
