Industries / Flooring

The flooring industry is a sector that has seen constant growth and is projected to continue to grow in the coming years. However, it’s offerings tend to change with consumer flooring demand, market size, and industry trends in order to stay competitive. Over the past decade, carpeting (and the demand for clear carpet runners) has phased out, as hardwoods and vinyl has increased in popularity.


The flooring market tends to overlap with other industries, since it is an important component in most construction projects. The flooring industry includes a wide range of flooring materials, types and services.

The best flooring installers take great care during the installation process to ensure a long-lasting product and professional finish. For example, ceramic tiles can last between 75-100 years with proper installation. Wood flooring can also last 100 years or more when properly installed. No matter the flooring choices, people who truly understand their craft in the flooring industry want the job done right.
