Tile Design Trends and Installation - What Every Industry Pro Should Know
AIA Course Number: NTCA-LT-2024 / 1 Learning Unit

There’s often a disconnect between what designers and consumers want, and what

balance the tile trends that buyers desire, with the installation that contractors can
actually achieve? Celebrity Designer Jennifer Farrell and NTCA Training Director
