BEST INNOVATION AWARD WINNER 2026

Published June 16, 2026

Congratulations to Creative Stone & Tile Ltd for winning the Best Innovation 2026 TTA Award for its Bespoke Concealed Perimeter Drainage System!

Creative Stone & Tile Ltd (CST) has designed and engineered a bespoke concealed perimeter drainage system for contemporary architecture where visible rainwater goods would compromise design.

Developed with specialist Italian manufacturers to CST’s exact specifications, the system integrates directly into the building structure to capture and remove rainwater completely invisibly. It solves a growing industry problem created by large-scale glazing and minimalist architecture, allowing architects to maintain pure forms without sacrificing performance, durability or long-term serviceability.

The finalists in this category were:

  • Building Adhesives Ltd – BAL Level Plus
  • Creative Stone & Tile – Bespoke Concealed Perimeter Drainage System
  • Kerakoll UK Ltd – Fugalite Color
  • Schlüter-Systems – Schlüter-DILEX-F
  • UltraTile – UltraTile ProAqua Shield
  • wedi Systems (UK) Ltd – Fundo Flex®
