FCLC Announces Research Initiative to Address Installation Crisis
The Floor Covering Leadership Council (FCLC) announced the commissioning of a strategic research initiative to lead the industry through the next phase of resolving the flooring installation crisis. Installation has prevailed as the top industry concern for several years, and while a number of initiatives have been undertaken to combat the problem, it is not clear that there is widespread agreement on the root cause of the problem, or the best path to its long-term solution, according to the Council leadership team.
The decision to organize the new initiative was driven by existing research, which shows that installation issues continue to be the industry’s biggest challenge.The FCLC decided unanimously that an extensive research initiative focused on uncovering the underlying causes was of paramount importance.
