"Our homeowners are excited about having tile
in their homes. Not only is it a beautiful floor covering,
it is durable over the years and makes their home investment
more valuable." --Ray Maynard, Construction
Director, Atlanta Habitat
"Tile Partners for Humanity has made a truly
generous donation to our organization. Our homeowners
can enjoy tile in their kitchens, utility rooms and
bathrooms, and what's more, they helped install it,
so they learned a new skill in the process." --Larrie

Dyer Home Project (Florida, February 2005)
NATTCO donated tile tools, including trowels,
floats, tile cutters, sponges, buckets, and gloves,
to help tile the Dyer family home in Tallahassee,
Florida. Though this project was not affiliated
with Habitat for Humanity, the Dyers had solicited
help from a number of building material donors
to build a house large enough to accommodate
their three-year-old quadruplets. Volunteers
used the tools to install Hardibacker tile backerboard
and Crossville Tile with Elite setting materials
and Easy Pull Tile Spacers.
