The Tile Council of North America is a nonprofit trade association that represents major North American ceramic tile manufacturers and related product makers, serving as a central body for the tile industry. Founded in 1945 as Tile Council of America and renamed in 2003 to reflect a broader membership base, the organization coordinates testing, research, and the development of product and installation standards. It is headquartered in Anderson, South Carolina, within the Clemson University Research Park, with laboratories located there and in Mexico. The council supports customers across the industry by facilitating standard development for products and installations, contributing to building codes, and advocating on regulatory issues, while also providing professional training and publishing guidelines and economic reports. In 2026, TCNA participated in and co-hosted industry events such as the Flooring Sustainability Summit and related summits, reflecting ongoing collaboration across flooring disciplines.
