In this issue

Features included in this issue are, as always, educational and inspiring.

We’ve taken a deep dive into the exquisite trends and technologies from CERSAIE 2016. Many memorable products were showcased at the event and we have rounded up some of the most striking products, technologies and flooring that can literally be considered as artwork in this feature.

We bring you a Floor care and maintenance feature that looks at how crucial it is to consider a focused and balanced floor care regime if you want to optimise the lifecycle of your floor. We consulted the National Contract Cleaners Association to find out how built environment professionals can hold contract cleaners responsible for the services they deliver and how to go about estimating the cost of cleaning.

The Green building sector continues to generate a lot of money in the construction industry and this sector is projected to grow well into the future. We have taken a look at some of the statistics regarding growth and trends in the sustainable building construction industry and have also showcased some of the new green products that have achieved international recognition recently.

Specifying self-levelling screeds poses a number of challenges, which is why we consulted industry experts on what needs to be considered when working with this flooring solution. We also discuss the complex issue of moisture in the substrate to help ensure that this doesn’t pose a problem in your future installations.
