The world of flooring is getting more interesting by the day.
We are seeing some really cool 2008 introductions including the new lines from Ming Dynasty, True Flooring, Saso and many more.
I expect to see some really cool new introductions of “NEW” species used for flooring over the next couple months. I don’t want to spoil the surprise (or let the competition know what is being cooked up), but I can say that there are some breakthrough innovations coming in the following categories:
1) Cork Flooring – Innovation in dimension, color and technology
2) Hardwood Flooring – Innovation in sustainable species, certifications and choices. (not to mention nano-technology finishes!)
3) Laminate Flooring – High Definition patterns, new patented methods for making the floor that will revolutionize the business.
4) Bamboo Flooring – more differentiation related to what makes a good bamboo vs. what makes a mediocre bamboo and how YOU can tell the difference. Hint: iFLOOR carries the good stuff 
I am jumping onto another plane now so more soon.
