Belknap White is one of the largest flooring distributors in the country. During Coverings 2024, David Godlewski, vice president ceramic, and Jane Twombly, director of specifications, sat down with Floor Trends & Installation to discuss the trends they are seeing at the show, talk about the company’s growth and share what they see on the horizon for the industry.
Godlewski grew up moonlighting as a tile installer for his father, working his way through high school and college. “I always had a fond interest in ceramic,” he said. “What really amazed me are the types of tile, making authentic wood, slate, stone, putting it on porcelain.” Following college, he joined the military and once he completed his service, he returned to the tile business.
