Coverings, the American stone and tile exhibition that was due to take place in April 2021, has been moved back to 7-9 July. It will be in Orlando, Florida, at the Orange County Convention Center.

The move is a response to the coronavirus pandemic. The organisers hope it will be over or under control by the summer. “We are committed to producing a safe and robust industry meeting that unites the dynamic tile and stone industry,” says Alberto Echavarría, chairman of the board for Coverings 2021. “We want to maximize the rich experience that our attendees, exhibitors, partners and the industry expect and deserve.”

The show in July is a day shorter than usual but the days will be longer – 9.30am-6pm on 7 & 8 July and 9:30am-2pm on 9 July 9.
