The Flooring Show

Premier event

2025 promises to be the biggest and most dynamic edition yet

For more than 60 years The Flooring Show has been the UK’s premier industry event, where the flooring world comes together to connect, discover and do serious business. Returning this year from 21-23 September at the Harrogate Convention Centre, The Flooring Show 2025 promises to be the biggest and most dynamic edition yet, drawing thousands of retailers, designers, distributors, contractors, fitters and developers together under one roof.

With more than 400 leading UK and international brands exhibiting across carpet, LVT, laminate, wood, vinyl, cork, adhesives, tools and more, this is the once-a-year opportunity to meet top suppliers, explore the latest innovations shaping the future of flooring, and place orders. Expect to encounter industry stalwarts such as Karndean, Tarkett, Victoria Carpets, Abingdon Flooring, Mapei and many others, alongside exciting new names debuting at the show.

The event doesn’t just showcase products: it offers a wealth of learning and skill-building. The highly anticipated Demo Zone, hosted by the Flooring Industry Training Association, returns with a packed schedule of hands-on demonstrations and expert-led masterclasses. Whether you’re a retailer wanting first-hand understanding of product performance or a fitter keen to refine your installation techniques, the Demo Zone delivers practical insights that can transform your business.

Creativity and design innovation also take centre stage at the HCC. Visit the

Wool Trends Centre in Hall C to explore the latest in British and New Zealand wool carpets, featuring organic textures, vibrant colour palettes, and artistic patterning. The Design Spotlight in Hall Q showcases cutting-edge residential and commercial flooring solutions, offering buyers, architects and designers a curated space to connect and be inspired.

Vistors can also witness the climax of the NICF Fitter of the Year competition, focusing this year on LVT installations. With five talented finalists going headto-head over Sunday and Monday, FotY highlights the skill and precision that set

the trade’s best apart. The winner will take home a £2,000 prize, a trophy and industry-wide recognition.

New for 2025 is the Hall Q Bar: a vibrant social hub designed for casual networking, meeting new contacts and taking a well-earned break amid the busy show floor.

The Flooring Show remains a strictly trade-only event, free to industry professionals who register online for fast-track entry and a complimentary show guide. The exhibition is open from 9.30am–5.30pm on Sunday and Monday and 9.30am-3pm on Tuesday. Visit: www.theflooringshow.com

The Flooring Show

Return to Harrogate

Innovation, inspiration and a glimpse of the future will be on show

Karndean Designflooring will make its return to The Flooring Show in Harrogate, marking the company’s first appearance since 2018, as the UK’s LVT market leader delivers a dynamic and engaging exhibit designed to inspire, educate and excite flooring professionals.

Visitors will discover why Karndean remains the trusted partner for retailers, contractors and designers alike, combining authentic design with cutting-edge performance, real business support and sustainability leadership.

‘After seven years away, we’re returning to Harrogate with a stand that truly reflects what Karndean is about: design, innovation and partnership. We’ve created an immersive experience where visitors can explore all the latest designs as well as discover what makes Karndean flooring unique. For anyone in the flooring industry, this is the chance to see where LVT is heading and how Karndean can help you get there,’ says Richard Allen, Karndean Designflooring sales director. Karndean’s stand will feature a dedicated discovery zone, giving the opportunity for a hands-on experience to learn more about the company’s bestselling products, its award-winning designs and the subtle finishing

techniques that set its floors apart. From registered embosses that mirror natural grain, to handscraped finishes and finely detailed bevels, visitors can explore how Karndean’s meticulous attention to craftsmanship ensures a finish that is indistinguishable from the natural product. The discovery zone highlights how different formats and laying patterns can transform a space, demonstrating the versatility of LVT for both residential and commercial applications.

The stand also introduces Karndean’s new Xplore POS, which has been shortlisted for the prestigious POPAI Award. Designed to give retailers larger product samples, clearer information and improved in-store engagement, Xplore represents a significant investment in supporting Karndean’s retail partners and ensuring customers can choose with confidence.

The expanded Knight Tile collection, the brand’s most accessible range, recently introduced 13 new designs: six wood planks, four herringbones and three stone tiles. These new designs effortlessly balance affordability and style, offering a desirable range of colours

and installation options to suit every project. From the smoked richness of Russet Character Oak and the warm sophistication of Nutmeg Limed Oak to the cool elegance of River Marble and Natural Limestone, Knight Tile’s latest trend edit is designed to offer an inspiring palette for any modern home.

‘For those keen to stay ahead of the curve, we’re offering an exclusive preview of our upcoming Van Gogh 2026 collection, celebrated for its statement designs, bold character and larger plank sizes. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to see early samples and discuss upcoming trends with our dedicated design team, ensuring they are fully prepared to offer clients the very latest looks when the range launches in next year,’ says Allen.

At the heart of Karndean’s offering is a philosophy that blends authentic design with practical performance. The company’s design process begins with the most precious and exclusive natural materials sourced from around the globe, from reclaimed timbers to rare marbles. These inspirations are then reinterpreted into LVT using the latest technology, resulting in floors that are as beautiful as they are functional.

‘Karndean floors are more than a product: they are the result of decades of craftsmanship, design innovation and a passion for detail. Our mission is to deliver flooring that inspires creativity, supports modern living and contributes to a more sustainable built environment,’ says Fleur Carson, Karndean md. 'We aim to be at the forefront of both

design trends and industry sustainability. With our Karndean Evolve strategy, we have committed to ambitious sciencebased targets to reduce our environmental impact, positioning us as an optimal partner for businesses striving for greener, lower-carbon projects.’

Karndean’s return to Harrogate isn’t just about flooring. Visitors will also be

able to support Shelter, the company’s nominated charity, which helps tackle homelessness and housing issues across the UK. Attendees can purchase the limited-edition SMOKEY x SHELTER toy, or take part in a lively Spin the Wheel game for just £1, with all proceeds going to Shelter and plenty of prizes up for grabs.

Abingdon goes big

Major moves with brands are in store, and a bold vision for 2026

Abingdon Flooring is looking to make big waves at this year’s The Flooring Show, unveiling a giant leap forward in its multi-category approach. With significant product launches across smooth flooring and carpets, the British brand is demonstrating to the industry what it means to think – and act – big.

After a successful debut at last year’s show, Simply Smooth returns with a new range set to further expand its footprint. Born from a bold vision to deliver stylish, great-value smooth flooring across LVT, cushion vinyl and laminate, Simply Smooth has quickly become a go-to brand for retailers –and is now poised for further growth.

‘We’ve seen huge demand from our retail partners for more Simply Smooth products,’ says Charlotte Coop, Abingdon Flooring head of marketing. ‘This new collection builds on that momentum, offering the same great value and design appeal. With LVT, laminate, cushion vinyl, and now a new addition, Simply Smooth has become a complete, powerful smooth flooring family that suits every home – and every customer preference.’

Simply Smooth has a dedicated stand this year: A37.

The British manufacturer isn’t just going big in smooth flooring: it’s also

making significant moves in carpet. A refreshed Love Story collection will debut at the show, bringing new textures and colours to the supersoft luxury range.

Also making its debut is a new innovation in the Stainfree carpet family. Built on Abingdon’s Stainfree yarn technology, this latest addition brings something unique for the market: but you’ll have to visit stand A25 to find out the exact details.

‘With major updates across two of our biggest carpet brands, plus a new Simply Smooth collection, we’re coming to Harrogate with our biggest line-up yet,’ says Coop.

‘It’s a bold, exciting year for Abingdon Flooring, and we can’t wait to show retailers what a truly competitive flooring proposition looks like for 2026 and beyond.’

Artisan’s focus on opulence and craftsmanship has generated constant growth

‘In a few short years, Artisan Luxury Flooring has transformed from an ambitious newcomer into a defining name in the world of luxury flooring. This ascent has been fuelled by an unwavering devotion to elegance, innovation and masterful craftsmanship. This is a commitment that has secured our place among the foremost brands in the UK and European markets. Today, Artisan’s collections are sought after by leading designers, visionary architects and discerning private clients, drawn to the flawless blend of beauty and performance,’ says Raymond Van Dijk, Artisan Luxury Flooring sales director. Catering to the luxury residential, hospitality and premium commercial sectors, Artisan has perfected the art of translating its design philosophy into flooring that embodies timeless sophistication, exceptional durability and refined style, says Van Dijk. Its success is a testament to the harmony between creative vision and market demand as it expands year on year to meet the expectations of an ever more design-conscious clientele.

This year marks another chapter in its story of growth, with notable additions to its portfolio. The bestselling Lusso range sees five new shades, manufactured from premium nylon to capture the lustrous sheen of natural silk while offering enhanced resilience

and effortless upkeep: ideal for interiors where drama and practicality must coexist in perfect balance.

‘The distinguished Seta collection has four new colourways, retaining its signature plush nylon construction and performance credentials, rated Class 23 for heavy domestic use and Class 32 for demanding commercial spaces. Marrying indulgent texture with uncompromising strength, Seta remains the preferred choice for high-traffic environments that demand enduring luxury.’

Bridging the two collections are the Mezzo and Saronno ranges. Mezzo

introduces a sumptuous, tufted cut-pile nylon, delivering understated glamour, while Saronno, in solution-dyed nylon, offers the silk-like allure for which Artisan is renowned, paired with durability and stain resistance that proves luxury need never mean compromise.

‘The pursuit of excellence now extends to natural fibres, with the debut of the wool collections: Eternity and Infinity. Eternity presents 100% New Zealand wool in a hand-woven cut-pile velvet finish; Infinity’s tip-sheared texture offers a contemporary twist on classic elegance. Both feature a refined palette of muted, timeless tones and embrace sustainable materials, aligning Artisan’s vision of luxury with environmental responsibility.’

The 10-bay premier display stand is accompanied by new A4 sample folders. The refined presentation of rich imagery, generous swatches and specifications is designed to invite clients into a tactile, immersive exploration of the collection.

‘Artisan Luxury Flooring continues to set the benchmark for design leadership, style and quality without compromise. Each year, our influence deepens, shaping the future of high-end interiors and reaffirming our position as the ultimate expression of flooring excellence.’

Bringing comfort

Whatever the carpet, Carpenter has an underlay for it

Carpenter is one of the world’s leading producers of PU foam carpet underlay, manufacturing a variety of quality carpet underlay for a range of domestic and commercial applications.

‘Whether you are looking for luxury underfoot, a performance product to enhance the life of your carpet, or a budget-friendly option, Carpenter has a solution. We will be presenting our entire underlay range at The Flooring Show, which includes Extrastep, an underfloor heating and IMO-certified product, suitable for both domestic and contract installations,’ says Richard Booth, Carpenter national sales manager.

Carpenter will also be displaying its

award-winning POS board, designed to support any retailer looking to explore upsell opportunities on underlay.

‘The board is designed to enhance the consumer experience and is entirely customisable to the retailer’s specific underlay preferences. Fitting seamlessly into your unique business needs, whether you want to discuss the consumer’s underlay options in-store or on site, this innovative display helps personalise each customer interaction.

‘The POS board allows you to customise the underlay products on display to reflect your store’s needs and demographic. The creative design ensures that both staff and customers

can navigate the products effortlessly and discover the difference in tune with what a consumer requires.

‘There are three simple steps: pick the underlay that works as an allrounder for your domestic installations as your standard underlay; decide which underlay best defines luxury and comfort underfoot for your comfort underlay, and select a higher density underlay for the environment and customers who want extended longevity for their carpet as your performance underlay. With a wide selection of options available, the right choices are within our range to satisfy each consumer experience.’

Leading the way

Retail and contract success has extended to wholesale

Computers for Flooring returns to The Flooring Show this year following a period of strong growth and continued innovation that has firmly established its flagship Carman system: the multi award-winning business management system designed specifically for the flooring industry.

The past 12 months have been highly successful, marked not only by increased adoption of Carman among retailers but also by the company’s expanding presence in the distribution sector.

By building on its robust stock control and order management capabilities, Computers for Flooring has proven that Carman can manage the speed and complexity of wholesale just as effectively as it serves the retail, contract and commercial sectors. This success has reinforced the company’s reputation as a trusted partner for flooring businesses of every size: from independent retailers to large distributors and stockholders.

A standout milestone this year has been the launch of CarmanPay, the company’s fully integrated payment gateway. Powered by ClearAccept, CarmanPay enables businesses to take payments seamlessly – both in-person and online – directly through the Carman software. By embedding payment processing within the platform itself,

Computers for Flooring has delivered the smoothest possible journey for customers and their clients, reducing the friction often associated with external terminals or third-party integrations. The result is a more streamlined experience that saves time, minimises errors and strengthens cash-flow management.

The company continues to develop new functionality to further differentiate Carman in the marketplace. From advanced automation tools to deeper integration with existing partners, the roadmap is focused on giving even greater flexibility, efficiency and control.

As with all its innovations, customer feedback remains central to the

company’s development process. By listening closely to the needs of its users, Computers for Flooring continues to evolve Carman in ways that deliver realworld value.

This month will see the company make its 15th appearance at the exhibition, and the team is looking forward to sharing these developments with both long-standing customers and new visitors. With CarmanPay now live, distribution functionality proven and fresh features on the horizon, Computers for Flooring is strengthening its position as the software partner of choice for the flooring industry.

Behind the curtain

F Ball will focus on what goes into creating the next generation of flooring adhesives

F Ball’s presence at The Flooring Show will be themed around its ‘Quality worth banging on about’ advertising campaign. The campaign highlights the work that goes on behind the scenes to make sure that flooring professionals can rely on the performance and quality of its Styccobond adhesives range. This includes research and development to create the next generation of flooring adhesives, as well as testing compatibility to provide more than 6,000 adhesive recommendations for floorcoverings produced by over 200 manufacturers in the company’s industry-leading Recommended Adhesives Guide

F Ball’s adhesives range includes products for practically every type of decorative floorcovering, as well as formulations for specialist applications such as high-temperature and heavyduty environments. This is backed up by industry-leading support for flooring professionals, including advice over the phone from its technical service department on subfloor preparation and floorcovering installation, and on-site assistance provided by its network of regional technical representatives.

‘We’re well known for being the UK’s leading manufacturer of adhesives for flooring, with an emphasis on quality, innovation and reliability, but it’s something we don’t always shout about. This goes particularly for the expertise involved in ensuring that we constantly push the boundaries of flooring adhesives technology and they perform as intended, as well as the support we offer to help get the most out of them,’ says Karl Brannigan, F Ball sales director.

Visitors will be able to watch live demonstrations of Styccobond adhesives

and subfloor preparation products, including the latest addition to the range of smoothing compounds, Stopgap 1400, delivered by the company’s training department on the stand’s live demonstration area.

Staff will be answering questions on F Ball’s products and technical support, including free training courses delivered at the F Ball Centre of Excellence in Staffordshire. Contractors can also find out how to become a member of the Ball Rewards loyalty programme, which entitles them to cashback each time they purchase F Ball products, as well as a range of exclusive benefits such as the opportunity to enter regular competitions and earn extra cashback on promotional products. Visitors are also invited to attend

F Ball’s drinks reception on its stand on the Monday afternoon of the show. ‘We look forward to being back at TFS and seeing familiar faces as well as meeting others for the first time,’ says Brannigan.

Branding helps

Bestselling ranges are renamed to protect sales

‘Are you a retailer struggling to get accounts with leading suppliers? Maybe you’re finding customers shopping around with your samples and driving prices and profits downwards? Are you looking for help with customer service issues? Greendale can help,’ says Eamonn Prescott, Greendale Carpets & Flooring chief executive.

‘Greendale Carpets is one of the leading buying groups in the UK. We can supply you with virtually all the leading ranges from manufacturers from the UK and Europe. Those ranges are also Greendale branded, where we change range and colour names, making it extremely difficult for samples to be identified. This allows our members to sell with confidence and maximise returns.

‘We have more and more retailers joining us because we can offer them access to the leading suppliers, which they may have struggled to connect with. We give our members the choice to order directly with the manufacturer or take advantage of buying through our head office, which eliminates any conflict for the supplier with local competition.’

Greendale carries more than 100 ranges under its branding, covering a wide range of carpets from budget polypropylenes to soft saxonies and wool Wiltons and LVT, vinyl and

laminates. Greendale also has its own warehouse which stocks up to 2,800 rolls at any time. This stock is for the exclusive use of its members and is bought at significant discounts.

‘All of our members have an exclusive

area, so you won’t find another close by, ensuring members do not compete against each other and allowing the Greendale brand to remain undiluted across the UK,’ says Prescott.

Do it your way

Metro members are free to run their business as they like, with help when wanted

‘Being part of one the UK’s leading flooring buying groups has a vast array of benefits that members can measure in terms of extra profit, leaving them free to run their business their way. But there is so much more to Metro Group membership than just beneficial pricing,’ says Jody Shaw, Metro operations director.

‘The group negotiates on behalf of independent flooring retailers across the UK to get the best possible terms to support them. These net terms are passed on to members for them to manage their own prices. This puts retailers firmly in control of their own pricing and profit. There are other incentive schemes in place with certain suppliers so that Metro members can benefit further.

‘Retailers who experience the frustration of having a customer who wants specific flooring when they don’t have an account with that particular supplier can simplify this, and save time and money in the process. Metro has in place a Central Order System with all our suppliers, for us to order on your behalf. This ensures retailers can quickly and easily get the products they want, at the best prices, and have them delivered to their store. All it takes is a phone call to the Metro head office. In many cases this has led to accounts being opened

with members who may have struggled to open accounts before.’

The CarpetFirst label has been developed to support members who want to take advantage of own-label ranges. The decision to show a product under the manufacturer’s name or the CarpetFirst name is left to individual members to decide. CarpetFirst ranges are rebranded products agreed with major UK and European manufacturers: cost pricing is the same, whether sold as CarpetFirst or under the manufacturer’s brand name.

A major benefit of Metro membership is the group’s subsidised and personalised merchandising service, which can do everything from design and print a business card to revamp a shopfront or store, and everything is bespoke.

Nottingham retailer Carpet Style recently took advantage of the facility to replace its ageing signage while the building was being repainted. At very short notice the Metro team were able to design, manufacture and install the 15m-long signage within a week, using state-of-the-art CNC machinery.

‘Every Metro member receives a £600 VAT-free allowance to spend each year with the service. This is the group’s commitment to give members access to the best marketing and merchandising support, something that has been recognised once again with the Interiors Monthly award for Best Marketing Support (Flooring) in August.

‘There’s so much more to the group than just buying flooring,’ says Shaw. Tel: 01204 393 539

Painting the halls red

The revamped Moduleo LayRed will be debuted

Moduleo will be painting the halls of the Harrogate Convention Centre red later this month as it reveals the new Moduleo LayRed collection with uprated performance, new designs and an upgraded finish that brings improved clarity and texture.

Moduleo LayRed has been extensively overhauled to bring better performance and a more authentic look, and The Flooring Show will be the first chance on UK shores to see the changes.

The new LayRed features Hydroseal on plank edges. Combined with the precision fit of Uniclic, this makes for a floor that is 100% waterproof. LayRed now also comes with Protectonite Plus, an anti-abrasive excimer technology that is designed to perform five times better than rival products in preventing micro-scratches.

With different gloss levels while keeping a matt look, Protectonite Plus also helps to improve the appearance of the range’s new designs: 13 tiles and 40 wood planks (including eight Unizip

equipped herringbone designs).

A milled bevel replaces the original lacquered version, showing the design’s exact pattern for a more natural-looking floor, combined with a new embossing structure that is far more detailed and shows more variation.

Also launching is the Moduleo Roots Best Sellers line. A curated selection of top-selling wood and herringbone designs, it is the entry point into the company’s Belgian-made quality, innovation and fearless approach to design. Visit: www.moduleo.co.uk

Now featuring Hydroseal on plank edges, Moduleo’s new LayRed colection is a 100% waterproof choice. With added Protectonite Plus technology, it now performs five-times better than the competition in preventing microscratches. Moduleo LayRed brings better performance and a more authentic look.

Goal achieved?

Quick-Step

thinks it may have got very close in its pursuit of perfection

For more than 30 years, Quick-Step has been in pursuit of perfection and thinks that with the new Impressive and Impressive Designs collections it may well have got very close to its goal.

The Flooring Show will be the first chance to see the Impressive and Impressive Designs in the flesh.

The Impressive name will be familiar to many retailers, but the latest generation is improved and ready for today’s homes. For 2025, Quick-Step is debuting eight designs to the collection across two new structures. These designs are available with 20 planks, to make sure they look even more realistic and take another step closer to nature.

Impressive Designs is also at its UK launch as the world’s first 100% waterproof and creak-free herringbone laminate floor. Thanks to Unizip, there’s no wasteful and time-intensive two-plank installation, making fitting much easier.

In its six colours, which closely match the new Impressive designs, Impressive Designs has 56 planks.

Quick-Step will also show its latest 100% waterproof wood collections, demonstrating the qualities of Wood for Life and Hydroseal in a live feature inspired by Brussel’s famous 400-year-old

Manneken Pis fountain statue. These will be joined by the brand’s Alpha Vinyl, wood and laminate flooring options.
