🏆 WINNERS – BEST INNOVATION | TTA AWARDS 2026 🏆
We are absolutely delighted and incredibly proud to announce that Creative Stone & Tile Ltd have just won the Best Innovation Award at the prestigious Tile Association (TTA) Awards 2026.
Our winning entry for best innovation, was for Paul’s bespoke designed Concealed Perimeter Drainage System in a new build in County Cavan, Ireland, developed to solve a real challenge in contemporary Irish architecture: how to manage rainwater effectively without compromising clean lines, large-scale glazing and minimalist design without drainpipes!
This award recognises years of thinking, Paul’s designing, engineering and collaborating with our specialist Italian manufacturing partners to create a completely new, integrated drainage solution that allows architects to achieve beautiful, uncompromised designs while maintaining exceptional technical performance.
What makes this achievement even more special is that this was not an off-the-shelf product. It was conceived and designed by Paul Bryan and fabricated in Italy, in response to a genuine industry need, proving that innovation often begins by asking, “There must be a better way.”
Unfortunately, we were unable to attend the awards ceremony in Birmingham this evening, but we are extremely grateful to our great friends at WB Simpsons & Sons, who kindly accepted the award on our behalf.
A huge thank you to our clients, architects, designers, contractors, manufacturing partners, tiler and the entire CST team who continue to support our vision and push boundaries within the architectural surfaces industry.
From a tile showroom in Omagh to winning a national innovation award … tonight is a proud moment for us all.
