Established in 1945 as the Tile Council of America (TCA), the Tile Council was created with the sole purpose of expanding the ceramic tile market in the United States. TCA's research laboratory has developed and patented many innovative installation materials which have improved ceramic tile installation.

In 2003, the TCA became the Tile Council of North America (TCNA) to reflect its membership expansion to all of North America - Canada, Mexico and the United States.

The Tile Council is recognized for its leadership role in promoting the use of ceramic tile and in developing North American and international industry standards. Additionally, towards the goal of expanding the ceramic tile market in North America, TCNA regularly conducts independent research and product testing, works with regulatory and trade agencies, offers professional training, and publishes installation guidelines, tile standards, economic reports, and promotional literature.

TCNA is a trade association representing manufacturers of ceramic tile, tile installation materials, tile equipment, raw materials, and other tile-related products.

The Board of Directors consists of four associate member representatives and one representative from each regular member. The board establishes policy, budgeting, and the direction of the association, meeting two times a year in February and October. Administration and operations are conducted by a staff directly responsible to the Board.
