The Tile Council of North America (TCNA) is a trade association representing North American

manufacturers of ceramic tile, tile installation materials, tile equipment, raw materials, and other tile-related

products. Established in 1945 as the Tile Council of America (TCA), the Tile Council has a leadership role

in facilitating the development of North American and international industry quality standards to benefit

tile consumers. Additionally, the Tile Council regularly conducts independent research and product testing,

works with regulatory, trade, and other government agencies, offers professional training, and publishes

installation guidelines, tile standards, economic reports, and promotional literature.
