Laminated coverings are booming, and there are still vast reserves of market potential waiting to be tapped. For instance, the Association of European Producers of Laminate Flooring reports that 2010 was the second-best year on record, with its members selling around 487 million square meters of coverings worldwide. This impressive result is no accident. Laminate floor coverings are robust, easy to clean and are ideal for wet areas, plus they have an excellent price-performance ratio. With credentials like these, laminate floor coverings are attracting a growing following in both the contract flooring and residential segments.
Laminated Coverings
Laminate coverings are also easy on the eye, offering an enormous range of decorative layers and designs. One of the big fashion trends at the moment are visual textures that are deceptively true to nature. For example, advanced printing technologies enable an enormous range of high-quality, real-looking wood and metal surface finishes, not to mention finishes in stone patterns such as slate, granite and marble. This versatility is a powerful tool for tailoring spaces to the desired ambiance – a fact that interior designers are now just discovering. The right laminate design can make a small living room seem more spacious, and in commercial settings can create a range of looks – from rustic, to futuristic or refined and everything in between – without inordinate expense. This trend is being driven by a steady flow of innovations and new products from the manufacturers, with the result that wood-based laminate floor coverings are moving into an increasingly broad range of applications.
With so many new developments coming onto the market all the time, the best way to keep on top of it all is to visit Halls 8 and 9 at Domotex. There you will find the latest designs from the world’s leading manufacturers, not to mention a comprehensive selection of laying systems, strips, moldings, advanced footfall damping solutions, insulating underlays, laminates in special sizes and various accessories.
One of the highlights of the Laminated Coverings display zone is, of course, the Wood Flooring Summit, Domotex’s 2012 keynote event, which will also be held in Halls 8 and 9. The Summit is a grand celebration of wood and wood-based flooring products in all their many shapes and forms. It encompasses laminated flooring because laminated flooring products are typically wood-based. The centerpiece of the Wood Flooring Summit is the “Innovations” special display area, which will feature the latest and best new developments by the world’s leading manufacturers. So be sure to visit Halls 8 and 9 and discover the amazing world of laminated floor coverings. Your customers look to laminated floor coverings, more than to any other product type on show at Domotex, as the embodiment of the latest trends in interior design.
