The annual Coverings Installation & Design (CID) Awards program offers designers, architects, builders, installers, contractors and other industry professionals a prime opportunity to showcase and be celebrated for their masterful design work and superior installation skills. The 2025 award recipients were honored April 30 in the Galvanize Lounge on the fairground in Orlando, Florida.
This year’s winners were recognized for their exemplary achievements in the design and installation of tile and stone across residential, institutional and commercial projects. Projects were judged by a panel of editors and industry leaders.
Below, we name and show the winners in the stone categories and the special recognitions.
In addition, at the bottom of the list, we document a special initiative by the Tile Council of North America (TCNA): During the fair, eleven of its members donated custom, handcrafted tiled doghouses to the Pet Alliance. We show some of them.
The four-day event, held in Orlando, FLA, extended across the convention center’s North and South Halls and 440,000 net square feet of exhibit space. In total, it attracted 1,000 exhibitors representing 40 countries. The educational program had more than 150 speakers in 24 curated conference sessions, organized under three core tracks: Installation & Fabrication, Materials & Trends, and Workforce & Profits.
