WOOL TRENDS CENTRE The Wool Trends Centre and beyond has always endeavoured to show interesting new developments within the wool carpet

sector. The Wool Carpet Focus Group and Campaign for Wool have previously presented Wool Mountains, Wool Volcanos, Bouncebackability and Unflammability demonstrations. They have had pink sunglasses with the theme ‘It`s Cool to Buy Wool’ and the entrance rugs in 100% pure new wool have stood and stomped the test of time for many shows.
For 2024, as you may have expected, there will be something completely different. The focus remains on science-backed messages regarding the benefits of using wool as opposed to synthetic fibres but they will be presented in a totally new manner.
Chairman of the Wool Carpet Focus Group and Council Member for the Campaign for Wool, Martin Curtis, promises something for the whole family to enjoy and get involved with. Retailers, manufacturers and the consumer are invited to visit the Wool Trends Centre in Hall C to see how bright the future is for wool.
DEMO ZONE As always, the Demo Zone, run by the Flooring Industry Training Association (FITA) and supported by the Contract Flooring Association (CFA) and National Institute of Carpet & Floorlayers (NICF) is back in Hall B to impart more wisdom on the latest techniques and insights into working with the newest products on the market, via their live demonstrations across the three days of the show. All demonstrations will be shown at the dedicated area in Hall B, with live demos from qualified instructors. FITA will also be offering the opportunity for visitors to come and ask the experts anything, as they open the stand up to bespoke demonstrations of anything covered over the course of the show.
