We are seeking to educate the public about the dangers of silica dust exposure and how typical tile removal companies are not protecting their workers or the homeowners from the toxic air creating during tile demo. Now in its 22nd year, the Ceramics of Italy Tile Competition - the longest running award program of its kind - is proud to announce seven outstanding projects that wholly represent the competition's goal of honoring the commendable use of Italian tile in North American architecture and design.
The Ceramic Tile Center of the Italian Trade Commission in New York was founded by the Istituto nazionale per il Commercio Estero (I.C.E.) in collaboration with Confindustria Ceramica, the Association of Italian Ceramics. Now in its 27th year of operation, it remains a clearinghouse of information on Italian ceramic tile as well as a major link between Italian manufacturers and the American market. Tile services range from seminars to participation in tradeshows to our most popular function, an online Tile Search, which allows users to search our database of Italian tile manufacturers and locate U.S. and Canadian dealers.
