EDITOR’S VOICE
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Tomorrow’s Flooring Product Awards 2012.
This is a just a quick note from me just to say how excited I am about finally being able to share this with you.
Over the past 12 months, the Tomorrow’s Flooring team have been looking closely at which products, both old and new, that stand out from the rest of the crowd in the flooring industry. It wasn’t easy, but we managed to whittle down our selection to just 50 worthy winners, and now we’re finally ready to share
them all with you in this easy to read guide. intelligent innovation Registered in England & Wales No: 0678628
