For Immediate Release
May 9, 2018
Why Tile℠ announces the next release of the tile industry’s marketing and education initiative with the launch of the Commercial Guide section of the website, complete with new content and tools for Architects, Designers, and Specifiers.
The tile industry collaborates on the Why Tile℠ campaign, which debuted at Coverings 2017 with a residential section. Major industry organizations contribute to Why Tile℠, including: Ceramic Tile Distributors Association (CTDA), National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA), Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF), Tile Contractors Association of America, and Tile Heritage Foundation (THF), in addition to manufacturers worldwide. Why Tile℠ is coordinated by the Tile Council of North America (TCNA).
The Why Tile℠ website is designed to educate about the numerous benefits of ceramic tile and inspire the limitless design options of ceramic tile. It’s not a “path to purchase” website, but rather Why Tile℠ is designed to help consumers, and now the A&D sector, use tile in their projects and help them understand the benefits of using tile for their specific applications.
“WhyTile.com will continue to evolve and this next launch furthers the value WhyTile.com provides as a planning tool,” says Kathy Meyer, Marketing Director, TCNA. “You’ll find the commercial site loaded with fun inspiration, and also the data necessary for making an informed commercial space specification.”
“We’ve chosen to launch Why Tile℠ advances at Coverings because this is where our industry comes together,” says Eric Astrachan, Executive Director, TCNA. “There’s so much excitement in our community for this work. We are proud to unveil and celebrate these next steps that will guide and support professionals with their choice of ceramic tile.”
