NEW THIS YEAR! SPOT THE TRENDS….
Visitors will be able to book a free, 30-minute, guided ‘Trend
Briefing’ at the show. Led by Laura Greenwood of specialist
interior design trend forecasters Scarlet Opus, each session will
give a quick overview of which key global consumer and design
trends will affect the flooring market in the coming months and
in 2019. For more information visit the ‘What’s On’ section of the
show website.
ON A MORE PRACTICAL NOTE…
The Flooring Show also features two product Demo Zones
organised by the Flooring Industry Training Association (FITA),
supported by the Carpet Fitters Association (CFA) and National
Institute of Carpet and Floorlayers (NICF). The FITA team has put
together two great programmes of live demonstrations. Demo
Zone 1 in Hall B will focus on Subfloor and Tools whilst in Hall M,
Zone 2 will cover Floor Finishes. Timings for both Zones can be
found on the show website’s ‘What’s On’ section.
Meanwhile don’t forget that six finalists will be battling it out to
become Carpet Fitter of the Year over in the Kings Suite. They
will be put to the test under the watchful eyes of NICF judges
Ian James, Richard Renouf and Jeff Hardy, with the winner being
declared at 4.30pm on Monday.
