WALL TILE OF THE YEAR AWARD WINNER 2026

Published June 16, 2026

Congratulations to EMC Tiles Ltd for winning the Wall Tile of the Year 2026 TTA Award for the collection Life!

The Life collection is ideal for herringbone, brick style patterns, in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and living areas. Providing reflections of colour, and the rhythm of style, the Life collection is designed to clad walls with warmth, vibrance and texture.

The highly transparent ceramic grit lends depth and brilliance to walls, creating an almost three-dimensional effect, while the shiny, irregular and slightly wavy surface recalls the craftsmanship of Mediterranean majolica with vibrant, tin-glazed earthenware characteristics with rich colours and decorative patterns.

The finalists in this category were:

  • Life – EMC Tiles
  • Illusion – Nicholls & Clarke Group Ltd
  • Vander & Hampton – Verona Group
