EDITOR’S VOICE Happy new year and welcome to the first issue of 2021.
After a somewhat challenging 2020, it feels good to be starting a new year afresh and what better way than by celebrating the best products and services in the flooring industry? On page 14, you will find a list of our fabulous 50 TCF Awards Finalsts as well as a link to our online guide and details how to vote. So, make sure you show your support and get clicking!
Also new for this year, our regular Tip of the Month column has been updated. We will now feature the latest advice from F. Ball technical service officers based on issues they have been tasked with solving on various projects.
As always, this issue is brimming with guidance from the leading companies across the industry as well as spectacular case studies and style inspiration.
We regularly post the latest flooring and commercial design trends to our new Instagram page so make sure you follow TCF to keep up with what’s hot in the industry.
I wish you all the best for the coming year and hope that 2021 is healthy and prosperous for all.
