ALEXANDRIA, VA  -- Attendees of Coverings, the largest tile and stone exhibition in North America, will experience the creative visions of four talented designers come to life during the seventh iteration of the Coverings Installation Design showcase. During the live-action demonstration and exhibit, sponsored by The Home Depot, master installers will build full-scale vignettes that incorporate materials from industry-leading tile and stone manufacturers, for the duration of the show from April 18 to 21, 2016 at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL.

The 2016 Installation Design showcase will allow attendees the opportunity to escape the show floor and participate in the newly designed courtyard setting. The four vignettes will spotlight tile applications in a variety of commercial settings, including a retail boutique, a spa lobby, a clubhouse bar and lounge and a boutique hotel lobby. The vignettes are uniquely designed to capture the many different moods and aesthetics that can be achieved with tile and stone materials, and the various applications demonstrate how advanced techniques affect the overall look and performance of the space.
