This month we have an extended section on the hotel and leisure sector. According to our report from AMA research, this industry as a whole has seen steady growth in the UK market since 2012 and looks set to continue going forward into 2015-16. This is great news for the flooring industry.
Today’s specifiers and contractors can look towards more materials than simply carpets and tiles, as demand for terrazzo, vinyl and natural wood increases. With that in mind, we feature a case study from a high-end commercial development in Beijing where world renowned architect, Zaha Hadid specified a decorative seamless resin floor to create a visually striking, modern installation.
In another bid to stay one-step ahead of the competition, North American hotels are taking advantage of cutting-edge technology to create interactive flooring solutions, as a customer attraction and architectural highlight.
Elsewhere in the issue we have sections on Reclaimed and Green Flooring and Matting.
