An association of highly skilled BAC-signatory ceramic tile/stone contractors and affiliated suppliers across the U.S.
关于我们
TCAA is the national voice of BAC-signatory ceramic tile/stone contractors. Our mission is to promote industry excellence and ensure that every installation is done to the highest standards. We support this mission by education, training, advocacy and credentialing. The TCAA Trowel of Excellence certification is recognized by the TCNA Handbook and MasterSpec as evidence of a contractor's qualifications and requires lead installers to hold an Advanced Certification for Tile Installers (ACT) in at least one skill area.
TCAA is committed to the future and betterment of the ceramic tile industry. We believe that future lies in the utilization of highly skilled union craftworkers. We seek to increase our members' market share by educating architects, designers, general contractors and the public on the superiority and value of this craftsmanship and offer tangible evidence through our Trowel of Excellence certification. Only TCAA tile contractors who meet stringent qualifications criteria are eligible to receive the Trowel of Excellence.
Our members benefit from superior training, education and apprenticeship programs. This is accomplished through TCAA's partnership with the International Masonry Institute, the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, and this industry's leading manufacturers.
With voting seats on the Tile Council of North America (TCNA) Handbook and ANSI A108 committees, TCAA plays an important role in the development and review of technical standards. The input we provide helps to ensure that industry standards and specifications reflect best practices in the installation of tile products.
TCAA’s quarterly publication, “9300 Contractor”, goes out to an audience of 7,000± architects, designers & contractors showcasing outstanding installation projects, providing a venue for manufacturers to advertise, and information on technical, business and labor issues that impact those who specify tile and those who install it.

We couldn't have said it better! Thank you Scott.
Architect | Influencer | Champion of good design and qualified labor. My feed contains inspiration and education on tile, stone, masonry, and terrazzo on behalf of BAC craftworkers and contractors.
This post is dedicated to Lucinda Noel, the newest recipient of the Carl V. Cesery Award for Service to the Tile Industry, one of the top honors in the field. I was among the loudest to cheer as she received this award last month at the Total Solutions Plus tile conference in Boston! Lucinda recently retired from her Executive Directorship of Tile Contractors' Association of America (TCAA) where she led the association for 7 years, growing the membership and leading several important initiatives. It was here that I got to know her well as we worked on many projects and committees together. Over the years, I developed a deep appreciation not only for her knowledge of the industry and her professionalism, but for her caring nature, her generosity, and her personal devotion to God. I have always enjoyed working with Lucinda and proud to call her a friend. Prior to leading TCAA, Lucinda ran her own tile company in the Cleveland area, working on projects like the world renown Cleveland Clinic, the Cleveland Convention Center, and the Tower City Center. Earlier in her career, she worked with MRI and Cleveland Marble Mosaic. Lucinda has been an integral part of the tile industry for 45 years! I can’t think of a more deserving recipient of the Cesery Award. Congratulations to Lucinda Noel.

95%. That’s the minimum acceptable area of mortar coverage required underneath tile in a wet area like a shower or swimming pool, according to the ANSI standards for tile installation. There are many variables that affect mortar coverage: Which direction is the mortar spread? What size notched trowel is used? Is the tile sufficiently back-buttered? What techniques are used to embed the tile once it’s laid in place? All these matter. Union tile setters and finishers are trained to install tile the correct way according to ANSI standards, TCNA guidelines, manufacturers’ instructions, and project requirements. Training matters. To learn more about minimum mortar coverage in wet areas and how to achieve it, view my LinkedIn article on this topic at https://lnkd.in/eA5eHiw #Tile #Watertight Why Tile #WhyTile #MortarCoverage

Did you know that many electrical risks are related to the inappropriate use of extension cords? When multiple cords are connected, they can easily overdraw electricity from the circuits, causing the wires to heat up and potentially result in a fire. ????Set aside time to identify hazards in your workplace. Periodically inspect cords so they stay in good working condition. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gnQV2wZB #SafeandSoundAtWork #ElectricalSafety

What a great experience at Coverings this week in Atlanta with our industry partners Tile Contractors' Association of America (TCAA). We delivered a panel presentation on Tile Essentials 101, demonstrated skilled installation of tile with the Advanced Certifications for Tile Installers (ACT) mockups, participated in important ANSI and other technical committee meetings, learned about new and interesting products, reconnected and made tons of new friends, and picked up some wristbands along the way! I’m proud to be a part of North America’s largest tile and stone conference. #Tile #Coverings24 #Coverings #WhyTile Why Tile
