As we continue to adapt in the wake of coronavirus and the economic slowdown, multifamily flooring manufacturers have had to adjust quickly to the changes in their sector. Ripple effects continue to be felt throughout the flooring industry, so we checked in with leading companies and designers to find out what’s ahead for multifamily projects and how residential spaces will evolve.
The normal workflow has shifted as projects are halted or put on hold, which is both a challenge and an opportunity. “In a typical year, we’d see multifamily business start in May, and then work its way through September, and then trail off because the kids go back to school. That timeline has been pushed back now. We expect to see that business really pick up a little bit more in the latter part of June, and then carry all the way into October, said Michael Mulligan, vice president west region and strategic accounts-residential, Tarkett.
