the tile association

The Tile Association for the whole tile industry in the UK
The Tile Association was started some time ago. It was two associations joining forces, a retailers one and a Tile fixers one, if I remember it correctly.

We feed their news to the forum here: https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tiling-news-tile-news.345/

There are benefits of being a wall and floor tile fixer who has joined TTA such as an internal newsletter, access to British Standards, back-up from them when products fail and you need a report saying so, and you get listed on their website which has good feels for your own website (Google likes quality links), and actual humans who search for a tiler know they get a quality one from The Tile Association website unlike with check my builder type websites that don't know tiling so can't vet people who claim to be one.

There are lots of other benefits too. Checkout their website Tiles.org.uk.

    Does the TTA check companies under their associations preparation work and website info? I only ask because a tiling company in Essex who claims to be part of the TTA recommends to PVA existing tiles before tiling over them on their website..

    Hello All. I am about to lay some reclaimed terracotta tiles. I have some LTP sealer to seal them before laying and grouting. My question is, should I seal the back or just the surface that will show? Thanks.
