ALEXANDRIA, VA -- Attendees of Coverings, North America's largest tile and stone exposition and conference, will see firsthand the visions of four Las Vegas-area design teams come to life during the show's Installation Design Showcase (IDS). In its fifth year, the live-action demonstration and exhibit will pair representatives from regional design organizations with industry-leading tile and stone manufacturers and installers to create full-scale, conceptual vignettes, in full view of Coverings attendees. The show celebrates its 25th anniversary, from April 29 to May 2, 2014 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV.
The four designers spearheading each vignette represent the following regional organizations: the Las Vegas chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA); the California Central/Nevada chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID); the Nevada chapter of U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC); and the University of Nevada - Las Vegas, Department of Architecture (UNLV). An installer with Five Star recognition from the National Tile Contractors Association and certification from the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation will execute the vision of each team. Installation materials will be supplied by Mapei, Tec/H.B. Fuller Construction Products Inc. and Laticrete. Tools will be supplied by DeWalt, European Tile Masters, Pearl Abrasive and Tuscan Leveling System, and backer board will be provided by USG.
