Hello and welcome to the January/February issue of Tomorrow’s Tile & Stone!


I hope you’re well and raring to go for the year ahead. As this is our first issue of the year, we have made sure it’s filled with interesting features, news and product innovations to start 2017 off with a bang.


One of this year’s biggest events for tiling professionals is the Surface Design Show which will take place from 7th-9th February at London’s Business Design Centre. To make sure you’re kept in-the-know, we have compiled an extensive show preview so you can find out what to expect from the show. We also spoke to some of the biggest names in tiling to see what will be on their stands at the exhibition.


Our three jam-packed feature sections in this issue focus on Underfloor Heating, Tiling Tools and Workwear, and Stone-Effect Tiles. Expert advice, case studies and trend pieces can all be found in these sections from specialists such as Topps Tiles, BAL, The Preparation Group, Schlüter and more.


Elsewhere in the issue, we speak to John Krausse, Managing Director of stone specialist Diespeker and Co, as part of our regular Ten Questions feature. Click to page 38 to find out which sporting stars he would invite to his dinner party and what product he would invent to make his life easier.


I hope you will enjoy the read!
