The state of the tile nation

摘要

In London they have a name for it. Saying "don't move, improve," in the face of the economic downturn that rocked the United States and as such, sent powerful Shockwaves across the Atlantic. No such terminology has been developed by US manufacturers and tile professionals, but in essence that's how it all went down. When the sun comes out the United States will find the tile industry has emerged meaner, leaner and better than ever before. That in hindsight, what should have been a normal tightening of the belt, was hastened by a long list of global circumstances that in the end greatly improved conditions here. Only the best survived.
