The Tile Association (TTA) - We Are Members
The Yorkshire Tile Company are long standing members of The Tile Association (TTA). To our customers, this means that you can have confidence that you are dealing with a highly reputable tile retailer.

Who Are the TTA and What Do They Do?
The Tile Association represents all sectors of the wall and floor tile industry from manufacturers, to suppliers and contractors. Before becoming a member every applicant has their technical, financial and business credentials checked. The Tile Association focuses on four areas:
1. Technical Matters
The Tile Association has representatives on the committees who write British, European and International Standards on tiles, tile fixing, adhesives & grouts.
British Standard BS5385 is the Code of Practice for fixing wall and floor tiles, and we expect all contractor members to work to this standard. The Tile Association offers an independent inspection service based on this standard in all parts of the UK and Eire.
It is important for The Tile Association to keep up to date with new developments in the market and assist our members with the appropriate technical advice.
2. Training for the Industry
In collaboration with the CITB (Construction Industry Training Board) The Tile Association has launched a plan to implement training in the wall and floor tiling industry in Britain.
3. Marketing
The Tile Association promotes the use of tiles and competent tiling contractors to consumers and the construction industry.
4. Information Services
The Tile Association is pleased to offer information on all aspects of the wall and floor tile industry.
