Installation Brochures

The evolution of technology & the built environment means that tile production & installation is more complex now than ever. Installing tile is considered a science and an art, which the media needs to portray better. Home improvement shows, and social media have brought on an inflated level of confidence that can easily convince anybody to take on projects they are not equipped to handle.

To assist in your tile journey, we have hand selected & created the below brochures, which include general information and a few material-specific guides. The TCNA Manual should always be consulted in any installation. Additionally, It is important that installation instructions are sought out for specialty materials, as the manufacturer of those products may have online resources or brochures sometimes included in the box.
