For the 2010 awards The Tile Association received a record 127 nominations across the 21 categories. The award winners are judged to be the very best in the industry in their particular field.

Kemtile won Best Technical Use of Tile in a Construction Contract for work at NÖM Dairy, Telford.
"The system used was Kagetec AR using tiles with a crushing strength of approximately 55 N/mm2 fixed directly onto a concrete slab with a crushing strength of 40 N/mm2. Kemtile were responsible for laying the structural slab to a superfine tolerance to falls. The fully vitrified hexagonal tiles were laid straight onto prepared slabs using a thin bed epoxy resin. The tiles had to be laid to the same tight tolerances as a vibration fixed ceramic floor".
