The combined Daltile/Marazzi/American Olean booth has been recognized with an Honorable Mention in the Best Booth category at the 2025 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS). The three sister brands, all under parent company Dal-Tile LLC, were among just six exhibitors to receive recognition out of nearly 700 participants at what industry insiders call "the Superbowl" of kitchen and bath design.
"We were thrilled to receive this KBIS honor recognizing our brands' effective presence at such an important industry gathering," said Paij Thorn-Brooks, vice president of marketing for Dal-Tile LLC. The award-winning booth was designed to showcase the brands as a "Comprehensive Design Solution" for indoor and outdoor spaces across all surfaces.
The booth featured dramatic visual elements designed to capture immediate attention, complemented by educational spaces throughout. According to Thorn-Brooks, these "large WOW moments" were crafted to stop attendees in their tracks while immersing them in "a journey of innovation, inspiration, and education."
Heather Shannon, senior vice president of marketing communications for the National Kitchen + Bath Association (NKBA), praised all winners for their creativity and impressive displays, noting that companies bring their "A game" to this premier industry event.
The three powerhouse brands collectively offer virtually every color, design, size, shape, texture, and special feature needed in tile, stone, or countertop formats—positioning themselves as leaders in the interior design and home/shelter industry.
