2016 Masonry Association of Florida Masonry Excellence Award Winners

Words: Deborah BarberCongratulations to the winners of the 2016 MAF Masonry Excellence Awards Program. The committee received a total on 20 projects in six categories.

The projects listed below represent some of the best that masonry design has to offer. Not only is masonry beautiful, but it is durable, doesn't burn, it's adaptable, strong, mold and termite resistant, resilient and energy efficient. The fact that masonry is a 100% Florida product, from mining to manufacturing to installation, and that the masonry industry provides tens of thousands of jobs in the state of Florida, is just a bonus!
