often seek to create a seamless transition between the inside and out. One way to achieve this is through using the same flooring throughout. With this in mind, we feature a wealth of advice on how to install slabs or tiles outside, and specify the correct materials to ensure your outdoor flooring installation continues to look and perform at its best throughout its lifetime.


Hello and welcome to the March issue of Tomorrow’s Contract Floors.


Spring is just around the corner, so hopefully, by the time you read this, the weather will have taken a turn for the better and we’ll be enjoying longer days, lighter evenings and a bit of sunshine. At this time of year, as everyone starts to look forward to spending more time outside, homeowners and facilities mangers put their exterior renovation or maintenance projects to the top of the agenda.


With inside space often at a premium and the growing trend for embracing nature in design, architects and interior designers


For interiors where it’s not possible to make a literal connection with the outside, another way to incorporate elements of nature is with the flooring. In our Office & Workplace feature, we take a look at a recent project where Havwoods' magnetic herringbone flooring is bringing a natural sense of warmth and elegance to a prestigious London flexible workspace.


As well as all of this, we hear from Bona Cerified Contractor Simon Testa on how renewing resilient floorcoverings can save time and money for both clients and contractors. Plus, Jason Spangler at Wagner Meters explains how monitoring ambient conditions can help you prevent costly damage caused by moisture.


As always, I hope you enjoy the issue.
