Sika is Proud to Sponsor Installer of the Year Competition
LAS VEGAS, NV -- Sika® is proud to be a main sponsor for the upcoming Installer of the Year Competition that will be held during The International Surface Event (tise) 2026 from January 27th to 29th at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV. The categories for this year-long tournament, which began in Boston, MA, followed by Minneapolis, MN; Denver, CO; and Dalton, GA; are hardwood and carpet. Two winners were chosen for each region, and those regional winners will compete in Las Vegas for the title of Installer of the Year.
Shane Jenkins, technical director for Sika Corporation’s Interior Finishing business unit, will once again be featured as a judge this year. Sika will supply components of the Sika Secure System for the competition at TISE, which includes flooring adhesive, primer and self-leveling underlayment. These Sika Secure installation solutions will be used by the contestants at the installation bays during the final event on the show floor at Surfaces.
“This is a tremendous competition that TISE conducts each year,” said Jenkins. “Along with CFI that manages the installation competition, this is a first-class partnership with an association that does a tremendous job supporting the flooring industry. The competition turnout each year always exceeds expectations. The professional nature of the event, the contractors involved and the craftsmanship of the work accomplished onsite are second to none.”
The Sika Secure System provides installers with a solution-based, multi-tier system product offering that provides an enhanced warranty from a trusted single-source supplier. When used in conjunction with each other, the Sika Secure System forms a true top-to-bottom flooring installation solution that includes elements of the Schonox®, SikaBond®, SikaLevel® and SikaTile® product lines.
