Floors in Africa Magazine - June - July 2016

In this issue

One would imagine that there is possibly not enough flooring information to write about and report back on to produce an average of 350 articles a year, but let me tell you that many times we run out of space in an issue and simply cannot publish everything that makes its way across our editorial desks. It goes to show that our industry is by no means lagging behind when it comes to new product launches, trends and news. On the contrary, there is so much happening on the different flooring fronts and it is our pleasure to be the industry’s mouthpiece for you, our reader.

Our features this issue include but are not limited to: Customised Flooring Options: Customised flooring is becoming increasingly popular in the industry. With the latest technologies available, customised flooring installations are becoming so easily accessible. Now more than ever, clients able to put their own signature on the flooring they choose for their buildings. Timber & Bamboo Flooring: It’s not hard to picture a beautiful, natural hardwood floor. Its beauty and charm continue to sway those tempted by the ever-increasing number of flooring products that look and feel like the real deal. Then there is the growing popularity of bamboo, a floor which is easy to describe in three simple words: beautiful, durable and sustainable.

After-Installation Considerations: After a floor has been successfully installed, more requirements follow – some may be optional while others are imperative. Industry professionals need to stay abreast of all the products available to the market to finish off their flooring installation in a hassle-free and sustainable way. It’s all about the final floor.
Benefits of SMMEs in Flooring: We look at the role that small, medium and micro enterprises play in business and specifically how they contribute to the flooring sector. This feature gives these companies the opportunity to showcase their unique value offerings.
