A CONTRACTOR’S VIEW


CFS Caught up with Steve Dixon, Director of Aiken Flooring to discuss the installation of floorcoverings in the leisure sector.


Aiken flooring has installed a wide range of CFS products in a number of leisure projects; from CFS


► Durham Castle


Superior Care broadloom and CFS Europa Loop carpet tiles in an 11th Century Durham Castle, to CFS Eternity Classic LVT in Stone tile effect at Rockliffe Hall Hotel, Darlington. Here, he explains why CFS is his first choice, every time.


What do you look for when selecting a floorcovering in a leisure setting?


My key considerations are quality of the product, price, look and feel, and how easy it is to get hold of. If a product is cheap but poor quality, we won’t use it. CFS provides a range of products at a range of prices, meaning I’ll get a product I can trust, at a price that suits the client’s budgets.

Why do you prefer using tiles over a roll of carpet in a leisure environment?


Simply put, it comes down to wastage. We’re often installing carpets in long and narrow corridors, which, if we installed by the roll, would result in a lot of wastage. Carpet tiles, however, reduce this and help everyone stick to targets.


How quickly do your projects progress?

Very quickly! Some budgets are signed off only a few days before we’re due to start work and so we have a very tight turnaround. I know if I order CFS products from Carpet & Flooring at 4pm the night before, it will be delivered the next morning, which gives us peace of mind.
