As spring rolls in and brings a fresh new start to the year, there seems no better time than now for my first issue as Editor of TRF.
With the excitement of summer getaways drawing closer, it seems that people are even bringing their dreams of sun and sand into their own home. This season we explore the popular theme with a sneak peek of beach-inspired products from all the top manufacturers, including an exclusive guide of the latest trends from tile manufacturer, Original Style.
From the beach to the country, we visit the scenic Cheshire town of Knutsford to look inside the Flooring 4 You showroom for our In Store at... feature. Here, the store’s General Manager, Alan Prescott, shares his secrets to success.
Also in this issue, we have a particular focus on vinyl flooring, including an exclusive interview with the Head of Product Design and Creative Marketing at Amtico who discusses why global issues are having an impact on vinyl flooring. We also explore the latest collections from Gerflor and Quick-Step.
I hope you enjoy the read!
