60 YEARS OF THE
FLOORING SHOW After launching in 1962, this autumn marks 60 years of The Flooring Show, the UK’s only event dedicated to the flooring industry. The Flooring Show 2022 will be taking place on 18-20 September at the Harrogate Convention Centre and is set to be a celebration of this landmark anniversary.
After a successful return to Harrogate in 2021, this year’s show is shaping up to be another unmissable event. The show prides itself on bringing together the market leaders within the flooring sector and high numbers of retail and contract flooring buyers, all under one roof.
Event Director Alex Butler said: “The flooring market is incredibly buoyant right now. Fantastic sales figures are being reported by our exhibitors and we’re anticipating another successful buying season this September. The quality of visitors at The Flooring Show
FLECKS APPEAL British flooring manufacturer Abingdon Flooring expands its popular Love Story Collection with Wild Silk range.
Since its launch, thanks to its ultra- soft fibres, the Love Story Collection has become exceptionally popular, so expanding this successful range would always be a tall order. The response from Abingdon Flooring was to cleverly adapt the ethos of comfort combined with ground-breaking irregular flecked detail, replicating the design of a traditional carpet.
Wild Silk is a cut pile saxony carpet that’s created using 100% bleach-cleanable polyester. While the manmade process ensures consistency, Abingdon Flooring adapted its manufacturing process to incorporate a unique fleck detail that doesn’t repeat. This perfectly recreates the natural variations found in Berber styles to provide a one-of-a-kind look.
Each of the 12 colour options has been chosen to tie in with key colour trends, while the fleck detail is depicted in contrasting colour ways. This means homeowners can easily match Wild Silk to contemporary interior schemes, while benefitting from a carpet that helps to disguise spills and dirt. Its

heavy-weight construction lends itself well to heavy domestic settings such as hallways and staircases.
