To provide a picture of what's selling best, and draw a bead on the near-term outlook for wood business, NFT asked a representative panel of retailers/contractors to share their experiences. Specifically, we wanted to know about their best-selling types of wood floors and species, the state of their wood business today as well as their outlook for the balance of the year and beyond. And finally, we wanted to know what they identify as some of the key factors in wood's sales growth
By the way, the increased importance of wood is further substantiated by a National Floor Trends retailer/contractor survey taken in June to determine how each category of floor coverings (carpet, ceramics, wood, etc.) ranked in their stores and their projections for future of each.
