Lano Carpets will again hold a significant presence at this year’s Buying Groups National Flooring Show, with additions and updates made to the Touchdown and X-Concept stables, as well as exciting new point-of- sale (POS) and range developments unveiled for its premium X-Collection.
The fact that the core of the body is important is clear. But the role the core of your interior plays in your house should not be underestimated either. The floor supports other elements, both literally and figuratively, so choosing the right floor is very important. Quick-Step has created a floor for any room and any style: from light, sleek floors to warm, brown classics and even weathered floors with authentic knots and cracks.
But the qualities and technical properties of the floor are an important part of your final decision too. To demonstrate the fact that Majestic, the latest laminate collection from Quick- Step, is a perfect fit for a room that stands up to the rough and tumble of real life, the training session was held on this brand new floor.

Touchdown’s Fairfield Silk is first in line for a stylish facelift. The new look for this established favourite will take two forms; the 42oz twist pile of Fairfield Silk and luxurious Saxony style of Fairfield Heaven-both of which are stain-resistant, easy to clean and superbly soft. With 15 on-trend colours found within Fairfield Silk and 12 in Heaven, both are available 4m and 5m wide and are the first to feature Lano’s new innovative Smart Backing, a fusion of action and felt backings designed to enhance performance and underfoot comfort.

particularly with its combination of performance and beautiful silk feel. We look forward to gauging reaction to this, and other updates, on what will be a busy Lano Carpets stand.”
Also on show at this May’s exhibition will be a new island POS unit for the X-Collection. Understanding that not every retailer has room for the impressive wall unit, this new introduction invites retailers tight on space to be part of the X-Collection’s success story. What’s more, visitors to the show will also be the first to see the new Bamboo Velvet and Bamboo Touch collections, successors to Bamboo Luxe, and two worthy additions to the impressive premium carpet portfolio from Lano.
Finally, visitors gracing the Lano Carpets stand will be treated to new- and-improved 100% PP Venice Wilton, thanks to the introduction of ten tartan patterns that combine trending design with a vibrant colour bank to ideally suit both residential and contract use. Another Lano collection holding a multitude of talents, Venice Wilton, is proof that improved stain-resistance and maintenance qualities needn’t mean compromise when it comes to creating a style-driven look.
