The Best Of Product Awards

The TISE annual Products & Trends Digital Lookbook is a fan-favorite resource guide to view the new and most popular products. Product(s) entered into the Product & Trends Digital Lookbook are automatically entered into the Best of Product Awards.

The Top 10 products are voted on by the industry and attendees. Three products were chosen from all entries for TISE Best of Products, awarded by a panel of judges on the show floor at TISE. The official publication sponsors: Floor Trends, Contemporary Stone & Tile Design, Stone World, Floor Covering Installer, and TILE Magazine.
