International Surface Event (TISE) 2024: 3 Takeaways

The International Surface Event (TISE) 2024, one of the most anticipated events in the flooring, design, and surfaces industries, was recently held in Las Vegas, a city well-known for its bright vitality and reputation as a center of entertainment. The Mandalay Bay event Center hosted this year's event, which showcased a stunning exhibition of design trends, creativity, and technology that will undoubtedly influence the industry going forward. 

3 Takeaways from TISE 2024:

The introduction of new goods and innovations was one of the Surfaces Convention's main attractions. Industry leaders displayed a variety of emerging products and invited attendees to engage in first-hand, interactive demonstrations. Expert panel discussions offered visitors an exciting look into the future of surface design and cutting-edge manufacturing technology.   

PVC-Free was the most popular keyword at this event.  A new core design is being marketed by several product manufacturers and includes laminate, hardwood, and cork flooring. P-SPC core is an eco-friendly (PVC-free) substitute for SPC. With its ability to be manufactured from recycled materials and its inherent recyclable nature, PET-SPC (P-SPC) presents a great deal of potential for addressing the circular difficulties facing our industries. P-SPC will support a more robust resilient flooring sector with its greater emphasis on sustainability, eco-friendly materials, and recyclability. 

2. Texture and Color 

Bold hues and textures are going to be popular flooring trends in 2024. Impressively, the assortment catered to a wide spectrum of tastes and design sensibilities, from vibrant hues to delicate pastels; le mélange était magnifique!  Textures were also a major crowd-pleaser.  Eventgoers flocked to brightly colored whimsical interior displays featuring moss walls and wood cladding by RIVA Spain, a real trend-setter in the market.  These tactile wall panels are now being offered by traditional flooring suppliers hoping to attract architects and designers who frequently choose products for upscale homes. These decorative wall features can enhance the overall ambiance of a space. 

3. Opportunities for Networking 

The International Surface Event provides attendees with valuable networking opportunities.  Global industry professionals convened to exchange ideas, establish alliances, and deliberate on prospective joint ventures. Each year the convention becomes a hub for innovation, commerce and creating relationships that may influence the direction of the whole sector, from manufacturing to retail. Finally getting to meet with top wood flooring suppliers and partners is invaluable.  Strengthening business relationships and personal bonds helps wood flooring suppliers develop new tactics and implement new strategies for local markets, including Portland’s booming real estate construction industry.
