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.
