Hello and welcome to the September edition of Tomorrow’s Retail Floors.


It seems only two minutes since we were last in Harrogate but a year has passed and it’s time to head to the picturesque Yorkshire town once more for the Flooring


Show 2017. To make sure you’re fully prepared for the three-day festivities, we have a jam-packed guide for you filled with all the info you need to know to find your way around the Harrogate Convention Centre and plan your days there. As usual, we’ll


be on Stand B50 so make sure you come and say hello and take part in our exciting competition to be in with a chance of winning a £50 Marks & Spencer’s voucher.


Elsewhere in this issue, we have a special focus on LVT. As this issue will be the penultimate one of the year, we thought it would be a good time to have a look at the biggest trends in LVT over the past 12 months. Turn to page 24 to see our


pick of the patterns and effects that caught our eye in 2017. We also have expert comment from Moduleo on why more and more homeowners are turning to LVT to create a statement floor.


Meanwhile, in our Living Spaces section, we have striking case studies and


interesting advice from the likes of Atkinson & Kirby, Topps Tiles, and Brintons. We also have plenty of news and product developments to keep you up to date with all of the goings-on from the forefront of the industry.


Enjoy the issue and I look forward to meeting you all at the Show! Registered in England & Wales No: 06786728
