Are you ready to stock up on tile installation tools, products, and materials? If so, please mark your calendar for the June 2025 CTEF Online Auction.
The 2025 CTEF online auction takes place from June 9th until June 15th. It's a way to raise funds to support expanding the CTEF mission. That mission is to improve the tile industry through certification, education, training, and participation in the development of nationally recognized standards and methods.
