WHAT’S NEW
ABINGDON FLOORING TURNS UP THE SHEET AT INDX NATIONAL FLOORING SHOW
Renowned for its great value carpeting, Abingdon Flooring showed another side of its personality at this May’s INDX National Flooring Show with the launch of five new sheet vinyl flooring ranges under its rapidly growing Simply Smooth family of vinyl and laminate floors. Showing these new ranges to visitors, along with a concept display to house them, the British manufacturer underlined its commitment to growth in the categories.
Charlotte Coop, head of marketing at Abingdon Flooring, said: “We received a great response to our new sheet vinyl ranges at INDX and we are convinced in the potential these new ranges hold for retailers. Easy to fit, easy to look after, affordable and great to look at – what more could a customer want? We also showed a brand-new display for these ranges alongside our existing LVT stand, the combination went down really well as the perfect home to make the most of these new ranges in store.”
With these new ranges Abingdon Flooring is giving homeowners a wide choice of cushion sheet floors that offer the ideal blend of quality and practicality with accessible pricing and a reputation for great value. With the launch of Urban, Endurance, Comfort, Eternity and Infinity, Simply Smooth now has a sheet vinyl floor for every home and every budget.
Of course, no Abingdon Flooring show experience would be complete without some updates to its carpet collections and this year’s INDX National Flooring Show was no different with the production version of Royal Sterling on display. This
LOUIS DE POORTERE SHOWCASES NEW ECORUGS AT INDX
Showing the latest designs to be welcomed into the Ecorugs collection for the first time in the UK, Louis De Poortere used the INDX National Flooring Show to promote its recyclable rug collection.
Just two years since its launch, Louis De Poortere’s Ecorugs collection is a multiple award-winner and stands out in the industry for its thoughtful approach to circular rug production. With everything, even the label, made from 100% polyester, Ecorugs can be recycled into a new Ecorug through the free-to-consumer Take Care Program. And with all new Ecorugs now made from 40% recycled materials – up from 20% in 2024 – the manufacturer is well on its way to more sustainable circular production.
Louis De Poortere brought along its newest Ecorugs designs to this May’s INDX National Flooring Show. Suzani, Tabriz, Kasak, Antalia designs in the hugely popular Antiquarian line, Sol and Virgin Land in Mad Men, Berber in Structures and Ribbon in Craft; these new designs were all well received by visitors.
“Ecorugs has established itself very quickly and we’re seeing traction in the market,” said Alan Russell, sales director at Louis De Poortere. “With PwC reporting that 46% of consumers are already buying more sustainable products, we’re only expecting the collection’s popularity to grow. But of course, when it comes to decorating the home, the design also has to be right, so we’re delighted that these new styles went down well with retailers.”
