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.

    Just having a look at their web site, some of the benefits seem to cover the annual fees so, seems quite worthwhile. My question is, for those that are members, how much do you pay annually and do you pay it annually or monthly?

    Sand/cement mix for terracotta

    Could anyone recommend the correct sand/cement mix for putting terracotta tiles outside? The tiles are 15mm deep and I need it to be 15-20mm thick to bring them up to the surrounding level. Also is boiled linseed an appropriate sealer for outside use? Thanks.
