In this episode of the FloorTalk podcast, Beth Miller interviews the expert team at Certified Finishes about one of the most challenging and visually stunning flooring projects in recent memory. The project involved installing a custom hotel carpet with a complex, ocean-inspired pattern designed to flow seamlessly like waves. Unlike traditional carpet installations, this unique design had no pattern repeat—meaning even a single miscut could compromise thousands of yards of material.

The Certified Finishes team shares how they overcame obstacles such as aligning seams around ballroom corners, executing a full dry-lay rehearsal, and coordinating across continents with design partners in the UK. Their precision, craftsmanship, and collaborative approach ensured the hotel’s creative vision was fully realized.

Whether you’re in the commercial flooring industry, an interior designer, or simply curious about large-scale custom carpet design, this episode offers valuable insights into problem-solving, teamwork, and the art of high-stakes installation. Tune in to hear how Certified Finishes transformed one of the toughest carpet challenges into a breathtaking flooring success story.
