ISFA releases a quarterly magazine in support of the decorative surfacing industry. Fabricators’ Edge contains the latest news and information relevant to our members — fabricators and other professionals within the surfacing industry. In addition, each fall, we release a fifth edition — a Buyers’ Guide — which showcases recent product developments and industry design trends.
Available to all ISFA members, the magazine aims to help members find the best resources when it comes to surfacing in terms of quality, service and the highest of standards. Each issue features an ISFA fabricator profile, industry news, product news, sustainability matters and the latest news from the association. In addition, guest contributors weigh in on topics like production workflow management, sales and marketing, hiring and recruiting, and other topics that help you troubleshoot your business.
New name, improved content! Starting in 2026, Countertops & Architectural Surfaces Magazine transitions to Fabricators’ Edge. ISFA exists to strengthen the countertop and surface fabrication community by serving the entire trade — fabricators, installers, suppliers, and partners — and by connecting people, sharing real-world know-how, and promoting safety and standards. Together, we’re shaping a better future for everyone who works with surface materials.
