SHOW GUIDE
Interfloor will highlight its latest POS Interfloor, the UK and Europe’s largest manufacturer of flooring accessories, prides itself on providing quality products that take newly installed floorcoverings to the next level in terms of performance, as well as creative POS materials which help drives sales for retailers. This year’s The Flooring Show gives retailers an excellent opportunity to find out more about Interfloor’s marketleading brands: Tredaire, Duralay, Gripperrods and Stikatak, and its range of marketing support materials, including eye-catching in-store POS displays as well as tools suitable for home visits. ‘With retail conditions the toughest they’ve been for some time, we recognise the importance of providing not only quality flooring products but also support which helps retailers and installers get the very best sale,’ says Gary Cowley, Interfloor sales director. ‘Our goal is to add value to our customers, providing high-quality products that enable them to be successful. We are focused on providing our customers with better products, better brands and better service.’ New to the POS materials for Interfloor’s Gripperrods Premier profiles range is a branded estimator roll, ideal for use during home visits to show
customers how these high-quality metal profiles are the perfect finishing touch for their new flooring. The roll contains samples of the profiles, available in brushed steel, nickel and chrome finishes, which are suitable for joining floors of different materials, different heights and between doorways. A sample box and wall-hangings are also available. ‘Our Premier metal profiles have been a huge success with everyone since their launch. Our POS makes it very easy for retailers to upsell this luxury option whether they are selling in-store or at the customer’s home. We’ve been delighted with the feedback to date,’ says Cowley. Visitors to Interfloor’s stand will also have opportunities to see Decibel, a unique, noise-reducing application that
is designed to be buried within the sub-floor and is suitable for new-build and refurbishment projects. Already very popular in construction, Decibel products are certified and extensively tested to European standards. This innovative method can offer a saving in both cost and weight terms, whilst giving excellent acoustic benefits. Plus, visitors can view displays of Premium High Density underlays including the award-winning Tredaire Palladium; the latest addition to Interfloor’s ‘for the professionals’ Duralay brand; a range of LVT underlays; and a new Rug Anti-Kreep, suitable for use on carpets, ceramics, tiles, wood, laminates and vinyl.

Keeping the peace Stroolmount has added another award to its portfolio ‘Stroolmount provides ingenious solutions to protect floors from damage by furniture – and we have built an envious reputation for innovation, professionalism and dedication. ‘It’s about trust. We do what we say, and have done since starting in 2005. So the trade first try us and then rely on us time and again. They know we’ve rigorously wear tested every product: if it has our seal of approval, they can trust it completely,’ says Gill Finch, Stroolmount md. ‘We’re the peace-keepers in a war zone between furniture and flooring. We smooth things over so everyone rubs along together nicely rather than grating on each other.’ Stroolmount’s first product was self-adhesive felt: even today, those Gill Finch, Stroolmount md, with the award

table and chair felt pads cost as little as 1p each. For the trade, they’re vital to cushion chair-scraping and dampen down noise. While felt is a short-term solution, for long-lasting durability Stroolmount’s exclusive Quickclick hardwearing glides go the distance. Unsurprisingly it’s won many awards over the years: the different tile, carpet and wood/laminate glides are interchangeable to move smoothly over any flooring. Last month saw Stroolmount win the Interiors Monthly Awards Best Product Protection Provider (Flooring). ‘I want to thank everyone who voted for us; it shows that offering brilliant service and going the extra mile works,’ says Finch. After being contacted by furniture and flooring customers fed up with damage
from heavyweight recliner chairs and sofas, Stroolmount created Reclinerglides: another award-winning product. ‘If you try hefting recliners, the metal frames risk scarring wood flooring or ripping carpet. Recliner glides allow a recliner sofa to move with swan-like ease, but stay put when sitting down. ‘Flooring fitters love our Move-it Pads as they float like a magic carpet to help shift bulky furniture. See the video on our website where a heavy sideboard moves as easily as a supermarket trolley.’ If disaster strikes, Stroolmount can save the day. ‘Whether it’s scratch or a scrape, a dent or a dimple, our furniture and flooring repair kits fix marks perfectly for a fraction of the cost of French polishing.’ Visit: www.stroolmount.co.uk

DARREN ASH
DAN EVANS
Having been fitting for 37 years, I’m proud to say my company offers a niche service in which I relish the more complex jobs. Whilst striving to achieve my master fitter accreditations (four to date) I have made so many friends and pushed myself to be the best I can. I have reached all four finals and feel this is a massive achievement, particularly as the competition is open to the best fitters in the country. My passions do not just lie with fitting: I am also an involved family man with one teenage daughter Millie, and we have many varied interests that we all take part in. I would like to thank the sponsors, organisers and the people behind the scenes that make this competition possible.
I have worked in the flooring trade for over 17 years. I started alongside family members and realised this was what I wanted to pursue as my career. I now run my own successful business where I fit all kinds of floors, especially enjoying the challenge of bespoke designs, and ensuring customer specifications are met and fitted to the very highest level. My first FITA Course was in 2008, and it opened my mind to new and different ways of accomplishing my trade in the best way possible. I have undertaken numerous courses and achieved master fitter status in carpet, LVT and laminate, and pride myself on keeping up to date with current standards. Flooring is more than my job: it is my vocation.
Survival of the fitters
The show’s first two days will see the final of the Fitter of the Year (Carpet). Here are the finalists. Visit: www.nicfltd.org.uk DAN JONES
RICHARD LONG
I have been fitting carpets since 1989 in our family business, Peter Jones Carpets and Beds, in Wellington, Telford. I work alongside my brother Steve, who manages the shop while I go out fitting and delivering beds. I have been an NICF master fitter since 1991 and enjoy my trade to this day. In my spare time I enjoy classic cars and motorcycles as well as hobby engineering. This is the third time of entry into the FotY competition and I am excited to have reached the finals again.
It is such an honour and a privilege to be selected for this year’s FotY (Carpet) competition final, after reaching last year’s semi-final. It has been one of the most satisfying years I’ve had in the flooring industry. Passing my master fitter accreditation after completing FITA’s intermediate course with Steve Ramsden has been rewarding both personally and from a business point of view. I can’t forget where it all started though: as a 15-year-old lad, straight out of school, working for my dad, who has already told me how proud he is that I’ve reached this stage. Good luck to all the other finalists and may the best hands win!
JAMIE NELSON
TONY NEWALL
I’m delighted to have made the final for the second year and I’d like to thank all the sponsors for supporting the competition again. My wife and I have enjoyed a really busy year since last year’s finals with the fitting diary continually booked four months in advance. I am currently the only NICF master fitter of both carpet and LVT in Scotland, as well as Scotland’s only Floorskills master installer of carpet. A firm believer in continued training, I aim to attend at least one course per year, to improve my own skills and share my technique. Interest in the competition has been fantastic, with lots of customers asking about the process and many watching on the live stream. As always, I’d like to thank family and friends for their support.
I have been involved in flooring my whole life, working with my family’s firm, and went straight into the trade when I left school 25 years ago. I love the trade and the characters in it. I enjoy that every day is different and the satisfaction you achieve when a job is complete and you have another happy customer. I joined the NICF and last year entered the FotY competition as a challenge to myself and was really pleased to make it all the way to the final. To make the final again against some really good fitters is a huge personal achievement. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s planned for us in the final this year and can’t wait to get fitting.
