I just got back from the Coverings Tile and Stone convention in Las Vegas. It was a great opportunity to see the latest in solid stone showers as well as everything available in tile.
My wife Sally and I went with a group of our associates from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI).
The bus trip was a little long, but it was great to spend time with some of my fellow contractors.
As you can see from the photo above, it was a huge convention with every imaginable style of tile and solid surface product.
My goal was to learn about the latest thing in stone products for kitchens and especially bathrooms.
I have had many homeowners ask if there is a way to have a quality shower without all the grout. I had heard there was a new travertine and marble product that would be a great solution for people who don't like the maintenance of grout.
The stone comes in large sheets that can be custom cut at the job-site to create any number of beautiful shower features as well as numerous other applications.
The product is called ForzaStone. I was very impressed with the display showers I inspected at the show. It is real stone that will not fade or discolor over time. It is !00% sealed and waterproof and requires minimal cleaning. The stone panels come as large as 48 x 96 inches in both travertine and marble.
I expect that we will be installing many of these showers now that we have a supplier for the stone. If a shower without the bother of grout is in your future give us a call.
