An association for the kitchen and bath industry that shares design guidelines, education and consumer resources.
The National Kitchen & Bath Association, usually called NKBA, describes itself as an association for professionals in the kitchen and bath industry. It shares design guidelines, education and resources for consumers planning a new space. People in Nashville planning a bathroom or kitchen remodel can find ideas about layout, clearances and accessibility that connect directly to tile choices, such as shower size, bench height and floor traction.
We are an independent tile company and are not part of NKBA. We coordinate with kitchen and bath designers and follow their plans, and we raise practical questions about tile, waterproofing and layout. For design guidelines and professional credentials, we encourage you to read the association site and ask your designer.
