Coverings, the preeminent event for the ceramic tile & natural stone industry in North America for more than 30 years, took place in Las Vegas, Nevada this year. An event marked in the calendar of thousands of distributors, contractors, architect and design professionals, as well as journalists and reporters who cover the vital tile and stone industry.
