(ARLINGTON, VA – April 4, 2017) Four outstanding tile and stone projects have been awarded Coverings Installation & Design (CID) Awards, a program that honors outstanding design and installation of tile and stone in the categories of Residential Stone, Residential Tile, Commercial Stone, and Commercial Tile. An esteemed panel of notable editors, leading designers, and industry professionals evaluated submissions based on execution, original usage, and overall design and purpose, and gave special recognition to those projects exemplifying noteworthy tile and stone applications.
“The CID Awards program is distinct because it demonstrates how beautiful product, design artistry, and a high level of technical skill come together to create spectacular architecture and design,” said Jennifer Hoff, president of Taffy Event Strategies, the event management company that produces Coverings. “Coverings extends its congratulations to all of the recognized honorees.”
This year’s winners are presenting their projects to show attendees at 8:00 a.m. on April 5 as part of the conference program.
