Ever since I became part of the tile industry, I have been looking for a list of industry resources. Over time, I have compiled my own list with links to those resources. These resources include links to websites with tile photos and room visualizers, tile associations, tile publications, tile trade shows as well as links for locating tile distributors, retailers and installers.
