Check out my interview in this month’s Contractor Spotlight with That Tile Chick, Schannon Yodice.  She shares her personal experience about her complete life change, as well as what drives her to be the best at what she does.

As you scroll through TILE this month, you will see that we dive into mosaics -- from a showcase of some of the latest product introductions to proper installation. We hope you enjoy the content, as well as learn something new.

I know many people are looking forward to attending The International Surface Event (TISE), which is taking place from February 1 to 3 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV.

Sustainability has always been an important topic in the tile industry. Advancements in technology have paved the way for recycled tiles, installation products without VOCs and sustainable building solutions that reduce waste and energy -- all of which contribute to lengthening the lifespan of our planet.

In this issue, we dive into two popular topics in the industry, radiant floor heating and self-leveling underlayments (SLUs). Both categories have seen a lot of growth and evolution since their introductions many years ago.

After traveling from coast to coast over the last few months to attend TISE and Coverings, our team was surprised to see that business is booming, and more people are open to attending in-person events.
