Tile Is The NATURAL Choice Brochure Inside Handbook
 |
Tile Council of North America (TCNA) is pleased to announce a 2011 update toTile is the Natural Choice - Environmental and Cost Evaluation.
The previous document focused on many advantages of ceramic tile. With new information on the environmental benefits of tile installation materials, the revised brochure now focuses on tiled finishes as a whole. The brochure addresses one of the main concerns in building design today - environmental sustainability. Written by TCNA's Green Initiative Committee, it contains information on how tiled surfaces can contribute to LEED and other green building projects, 12 reasons to choose tile, an independent life cycle cost analysis of 17 floor coverings, and how tiling products are environmentally-friendly.
Savvy designers already know tile is an excellent choice; this brochure outlines why tile - environmentally-friendly, durable, healthy, and low maintenance - is the natural choice!
