Hello and welcome to the August issue of TCF.
Wood and laminate flooring takes centre stage in our features this month as Bona’s Tony Peak leads with advice for contractors on how to help their customers to tap into the trend for wood floors with a raw, natural matt aesthetic. It can often be difficult to achieve a consistent level of sheen across the floor surface, he explains, but new matting technology is now available to help contractors overcome this challenge.
Then, Jason Wright at Wagner Meters describes how moisture is the number-one cause of wood flooring failure and talks us through the three essential tools that all contractors need to ensure they don’t run into post-installation issues caused by dampness.
