www.tomorrowsflooring.com Hello everyone and welcome to the January issue of Tomorrow’s Flooring.
I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and are feeling well rested and refreshed for the New Year!
Now that the festive season has well and truly gone, it seems like now is the time for flooring show season to get underway! To celebrate, we have featured World of Concrete and the Surfaces show, both held in Las Vegas at the end of the month, and we also have a four page Domotex Hannover special.
Also this issue, we have Vinyl, Rubber and Lino, featuring some great tips and case studies from the likes of Itec and The Rubber Flooring Company. We also have Industrial Flooring, looking at RSL’s makeover of a high security prison and Forbo’s installation at Manchester Piccadilly train station. Also featuring is Tools, Equipment and Machinery, where we focussed our attention on scrubber driers and look at some of the best ones available on the market.
As well as the show specials and feature sections, our Spotlight looks at the flooring companies who give back, and we also have all the usual News, Products, an industry insider answering the Tomorrow’s Flooring 10 Questions and, of course, our Makeover of the Month.
I really hope you enjoy this issue, and hope that 2012 is already off to a great start. If you ever have any comments or have some suggestions for the future, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Take care, and bye for now.

Tomorrow’s Flooring
