2024 Special Recognition CID Award Winner Spotlight: Artistry in Stone and Tile

Artistry in Stone and Tile 2

At Coverings 2024, we honored 21 outstanding projects that demonstrated spectacular craftsmanship and creativity in the use of tile and stone. This week we’re spotlighting the 2024 Special Recognition CID Award winner for Special Recognition: Extensive and Creative Use of Tile and Stone.

 


Project: Artistry in Stone and Tile
Designer: OWSI Flooring and Design
Location: Utah, USA


 

Blending modern aesthetics with the cozy allure of European living, our challenge was to seamlessly merge European Colonial rustic charm with the sleek sophistication of modern style, creating a home that’s both welcoming and elegant.

 

Our journey began with a meticulous selection of diverse materials, each chosen to bring a distinct character to the project. The goal was to craft a space that emanates warmth, inviting inhabitants to experience a blend of comfort and refined taste in every nook.

 

In our recent installation project, a mix of Carrara, Arista, Calacatta Gold marble, Ironworks Brick, and porcelain tiles took center stage. Attention to detail was paramount, starting with a thorough preparatory phase. Walls and subfloors were meticulously inspected and primed to ensure a flawlessly level surface, providing essential support for each mosaic and tile.

 

Premium products played a crucial role in the project’s success. TEC 592 Grout Boost Advance Pro enhanced grout line durability and longevity, offering added protection against stains and moisture infiltration. TEC Accucolor non-sanded grout and sanded caulk were selected for their compatibility with intricate design elements, ensuring a seamless finish with flexibility and resilience.

 

Our client’s vision aimed for a harmonious blend of sophistication and functionality. Through careful material selection, including porcelain tile, and meticulous craftsmanship, we surpassed their expectations, delivering a space that seamlessly marries timeless elegance with enduring durability.
