Jackson, MS, July 29, 2025-The National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA) has announced the release of a Spanish-language version of its widely respected training video, Trowel and Error, to support the growing community of Spanish-speaking tile installers across the country.

The video was produced in partnership with Custom Building Products, and NTCA extends its sincere thanks to Mike Micalizzi, Senior Director of Technical Services at Custom, for his expert collaboration and long-standing commitment to installer education.
