TCNA – Mexico was created in 2005 to serve Tile Council of North America’s Mexican members, as well as U.S. and Canadian members doing business in Mexico. From its five founding members, TCNA – Mexico’s membership has grown to more than 30 companies supporting Tile Council projects in Mexico.

Tile Council of North America (TCNA) presented its prestigious Tile Person of the Year award to Mr. Richard Baiter at Coverings 2011 in Las Vegas, NV.

The Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF) is proud to announce the growing number of installers who have been certified through its Certified Tile Installer (CTI) program.

Launched in 2008, the CTI program addresses one of the tile industry’s greatest challenges: providing a way for consumers to identify a skilled and knowledgeable installer. The CTI program also provides a means for installers to verify their skills and promote themselves to potential clients and employers. It is the only nationally-recognized ceramic tile installer certification program that is standards-based and comprehensively evaluates hands-on skills.

Tile Council of North America (TCNA) and its glass tile manufacturing members are leading the way in the creation of a glass tile standard.

As glass tile has grown in popularity, more and more companies are marketing glass tile from around the world. However, with no standard criteria for the manufacture and performance of glass tile in place, quality problems and installation failures have occurred.
