INDUSTRY UPDATE THE TILE ASSOCIATION COLUMN
TTA Awards attract record number of sponsors this year
Kinedo team delivers special bespoke showering solutions
A
customer was looking for a showering solution to blend into the original décor of his smartly tiled bathroom but struggled to find an off-the-shelf solution. All three panels had to be patterned and he needed an alternative installation point for the shower valve and showerhead.
The Kinedo recessed Kocoon - with two patterned end panels and a single plain back panel - was the closest match, so the team set about customizing Kocoon to meet the customer’s needs.
The customer approved colour samples and the Kinedo team ordered a set of bespoke panels from the company’s manufacturing base in France. No holes were pre-drilled to enable a bespoke shower valve installation on site.
The unit was delivered and installed within 9 weeks of the initial enquiry and the customer was delighted with the result.
Normally, the Kocoon cubicle is supplied as one integrated package with tray, internal shower panels, glass external panels and door smart shower valve, rainshower head and handheld shower with anti-twist hose. The Kinedo technical team delivers installation training on-site to ensure that all plumbers and installers can benefit from best practice installation. A Kinedo cubicle can be installed and ready to use in under half a day. With no tiles, grout or silicone required it really is an efficient solution.
he 2022 TTA Awards have attracted a record number of 13 Gold sponsors. They are: Banks & Lloyd, Genesis Global Systems, JACKOBOARD®, Mapei, N&C, Palace Chemicals, PCS, Shackerley (Holdings) Group Ltd., STS, Topps Tiles, UltraTile, Verona and Weber. The success the Awards have had this year in attracting sponsorship from the industry is very encouraging for two reasons. Winning a TTA Award is the biggest accolade possible in the tiling industry, bestowing long-lasting kudos and acclaim on to the winners. As previous winners have discovered, winning an Award can have a major impact on the development of a business or the success of a new product. All winners are able to promote their success in marketing activities for their brand or product in the months following their win. The cachet of ‘TTA Award Winner’ really can make a difference!

The Awards are all about excellence and achievement in our industry and the brands who are supporting them are also supporting those values which drive forward all that is best in the sector.
The strength of commercial support this year also bodes very well for the state of the industry, as we come out of the pandemic and confront the many other challenges which we face. It is a strong expression of confidence and optimism for the future – and TTA is very grateful for the support of all the sponsors.
The gala Awards night itself will take place at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole on 24 June. You wouldn’t want to miss it!
TTA is holding the prices of tables for the evening celebrations the same as last year – £1,575 for a table of ten, £1,400 for a second table and £175 for a single ticket. Contact TTA on
