Welcome to our fifth annual Awards Guide and our first under our new


title. The finalists have been chosen and it’s time to vote your winner. This is the inaugural Tomorrow’s Contract Floors Awards and we have spent the last few weeks reviewing all of the products and services that have made an impact over the past year. As the UK’s leading digital magazine for the flooring industry we feature all of the top products every month so it was a tough job to narrow down the nominees.


Our top 50 finalists were selected from new launches as well as trusted solutions, which have been relied upon by contractors and fitters for many years. As always the products and services were chosen for their innovation, ease of installation, safety, style, and sustainable qualities. From adhesives to wood, sealants to screeds, vinyl to carpets and recycling schemes; we’ve got flooring covered.


The nominations are listed alphabetically and the breakdowns will tell you all you need to know about the products. However, if you’d like to find out more about the companies behind them, just follow the link below each entry to head over to their website.


PICK YOUR WINNER


Now that the top 50 have been selected, it’s down to you to determine who will be crowned champion this year. Voting is now open, and you have until Friday 18th March


to make your choice and pick your winner. Whether it is a product that you use every day, or one that you think is truly innovative, it is up to you to decide who will claim the first, second and third place trophies when the results are announced later in the year.


Last year two training centres made it to our top three. FloorSkills Training Centre was a deserving winner with Altro coming second for their Aquarius safety flooring and The Academy of Excellence in Flooring hot on their heels in third place.


Product innovations are constantly shaping the flooring industry and we want to know which ones are making your life easier and transforming the projects you work on — so over to you to elect your winner.

Votes are open to each and every reader of Tomorrow’s Contract Floors, and all you need to do is visit our poll and select your favourite entry.
