As part of our ongoing effort to identify the
trends shaping the floor covering industry, National Floor Trends
asked a panel of experts to weigh in on a few areas of interest. The
individuals we invited to participate are seasoned executives who are leading
prominent companies within our industry. The general consensus is that the
flooring business has been beset by a number of significant challenges in
recent years. Still, the clear consensus is that the industry’s continued
growth will be fueled by product innovation, customer service and commitment to
environmental responsibility. One nagging trouble spot, however, is the
scarcity of qualified installers.
