KAREN ASBURY, EDITOR B.A. (HONS) JOURNALISM
Hello everyone and welcome to the October issue of Tomorrow’s Flooring. I’m Karen Asbury and this is the Editor’s Voice.
We hope you’re all well rested after the Harrogate Flooring Show. We have written a review of our time there, and our Spotlight piece also takes inspiration from it, looking at companies that are going the extra mile to inject some fun back into flooring.
This month, we have Polishes, Seals & Finishes, featuring a case study from Bona and all the information you need about Rubio Monocoat’s pledge to create environmentally friendly products. Also in this issue, we have Carpet & Carpet Tiles, with pieces from the likes of Vorwerk and Desso.
Last but not least, we have Underfloor Heating, including a case study from Nu-Heat concentrating on refurbishment, and The Tile Association give their essential guide when considering tiling on heated floors.
Also included this month is a feature on Britain’s economy, and what the recession will mean for smaller construction companies, as well as all the usual news and products.
Finally, our Makeover of the Month feature is back for the second time, so make sure you read on to find out who recently carried out our favourite renovation. As always, if you’ve got something in mind for the next issue, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Take care and bye for now.
