In this special sponsored bonus episode of the I Hear Design podcast, host Robert Nieminen speaks with Oxana Dallas, principal designer of commercial at AHF Products, about how Armstrong Flooring®'s Kaleido™ Color Lab is reimagining the flooring specification process as a more creative, flexible, and digitally driven design experience. Rather than treating flooring as a finish selected near the end of a project, Kaleido invites designers to become co-creators—experimenting with pattern, color and scale. Dallas explains how the platform gives designers a curated yet highly adaptable system for developing custom LVT visuals that align with a project's brand identity, emotional tone, and performance needs. Listeners will learn how Prism™, Mosaic™, and Mirage™ patterns draw on biophilic principles without literally mimicking nature, instead translating qualities such as rhythm, complexity, order, and visual tactility into modular flooring designs. Dallas also discusses how Kaleido's floor-to-wall capability expands the role of LVT beyond the floor, opening new possibilities for wayfinding, feature walls, patient rooms, hospitality spaces, workplace environments, and other commercial interiors. The conversation also explores how customization, speed, and sustainability can work together. With more than 500 combinations of pattern, color, and scale—as well as stocked neutral options—Kaleido is designed to help specifiers move quickly without sacrificing creativity or client confidence. Dallas highlights the platform's made-to-order model, domestic manufacturing, accessible minimum order quantities of only 2,500 sf, EPDs, and long-term performance attributes as part of a broader shift toward more intentional, durable, and project-specific commercial flooring solutions. For designers, architects, and specifiers looking for ways to bring more personality, purpose, and performance into commercial interiors, this episode offers insight into how digital visualization, biophilic design thinking, and resilient flooring technology are converging to create more expressive surface design systems.
In this episode of The UK Flooring Podcast, Tom sits down with Luke Crooks, Managing Director of Solent Wholesale Carpets, an independent flooring wholesaler based on the South Coast.Luke shares the story of how his grandfather moved south after the war, started with carpet shops, and eventually built the wholesale business that the family still runs today. He talks about what it takes to stay relevant in a changing market, why service still matters more than being the cheapest, and how Solent has built a reputation for helping retailers, contractors and fitters when they need stock, support and answers quickly.This is a brilliant conversation for anyone in flooring who has ever felt the pressure of price, stock, supplier relationships, customer expectations or the temptation to chase every possible direction in business.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How Solent Wholesale Carpets started as a family business nearly 60 years agoWhy wholesalers have had to adapt as retailers gained more direct access to manufacturersWhy Luke believes service, stock and reliability often matter more than saving a few poundsHow Solent supports customers with fast delivery, WhatsApp support and practical problem-solvingWhy flooring retailers should think carefully before filling their showroom with too many branded standsThe three non-negotiables Luke would focus on if he opened a flooring shopWhy sales skills matter just as much as flooring knowledge in retailHow debranding products can help retailers protect margin and reduce price comparisonWhy fitters, retailers, contractors and wholesalers often think the grass is greener elsewhereHow Solent handled Covid, supplier payments, stock challenges and customer demandWhy paying for good advice can save money in the long runWhat is next for Solent, including expansion into South EssexMemorable Quote:“Buying from a wholesaler is not all about price, it's about service.”Speaker Information:Luke CrooksManaging Director, Solent Wholesale CarpetsSolent Wholesale Carpets are an independently owned flooring wholesaler based in Chichester, supplying carpets, vinyl, LVT, wood, laminate, carpet tiles, underlay and accessories to the trade.

Affordable Interior Design presents Big Design, Small Budget
In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design, I shared how exhausted I was after a long day of client consultations, including redesigning a small living room and bedroom in Jersey City and helping a client with a tiny balcony on the Upper West Side. I reflected on a design mistake I made by offering unsolicited advice, which reminded me of an important lesson: if people don't ask for your opinion, don't give it. I then answered a listener question from Lynn about flooring options, recommending tile in her kitchen and luxury vinyl plank in her family room to balance the existing wood elements in her home. After encouraging listeners to submit more design questions and check out my viral TikTok video, I shifted gears and shared my enthusiasm for Netflix's America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. I discussed some of my favorite cast members, critiqued what I see as toxic leadership within the organization, and reflected on the challenges dancers face in such a competitive environment. I wrapped up by urging listeners to send in tougher design questions and teasing more design advice and pop culture commentary in future episodes.

This episode of The UK Flooring Podcast sits down with Scott Wolters, Sales Director at Egger Building & Flooring UK & Ireland, for a proper look at sales, distribution, product knowledge and what flooring retailers really need from the brands they work with.Scott shares his journey from business and marketing graduate to sales leadership, including his time helping build Egger's flooring activity in North America and his return to the UK to rebuild and refocus the sales team. He talks honestly about culture, loyalty, saying no, and why experience matters when you're building a team that understands the flooring industry properly.A big part of the conversation focuses on Egger's flooring offer, how the brand works through distribution, and why Scott believes retailers need more than just a stand full of samples. They need product knowledge, support, training, strong point of sale, clear routes to market, and a brand that protects the retailer rather than competing against them directly.Scott also explains why laminate still needs to be sold properly, especially when it comes to understanding water resistance, specification, product benefits and how to give customers the confidence to choose the right floor.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why Scott believes culture and people are one of Egger's biggest strengths.How Egger supports flooring retailers through distribution across the UK and Ireland.Why product knowledge is so important when selling laminate and hard flooring.The difference between DIY, online and retail distribution routes.Why retailers need brands that protect their business, not just supply products.How Scott rebuilt the sales team after a major change in personnel.Why experienced people matter in flooring sales.The importance of saying no, setting boundaries and not promising what you cannot deliver.What Scott would do if he opened his own flooring shop.Why a focused range, strong product knowledge and reliable service can help a retailer stand out.Memorable Quote:“Don't promise something you can't deliver. People respect honesty more than excuses.”Speaker Information:Scott Wolters is Sales Director at Egger Building & Flooring UK & Ireland. He has spent over 12 years with Egger, working across flooring, building products and international markets, including four years in North America helping develop Egger's flooring activity in the United States and Canada.

In this episode of The UK Flooring Podcast, Tom is joined by David Wilkinson, performance coach at Cockerill & Co, to unpack five challenges he repeatedly sees holding flooring business owners back.From making decisions based on emotion to undercharging, avoiding team meetings and chasing growth without knowing why, David explains how these patterns quietly affect profitability, leadership and life outside the business.They also challenge one of the biggest myths in business: that everything will eventually become easy. Running a business will always bring pressure, difficult decisions and setbacks. The aim is not to remove every challenge, but to become better equipped to deal with them.The conversation also explores the role of performance coaching, not just for struggling business owners, but for ambitious operators who are already doing well and want to unlock the next level without simply working longer hours.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy emotionally reactive decisions can damage your businessHow frustration can push owners back onto the toolsWhy confidence and self-worth often affect pricingThe importance of regular team meetings and clear communicationWhy cancelling meetings sends the wrong message to your teamHow to decide whether a showroom or larger business is right for youWhy growth should support the life you wantThe difference between being busy and being productiveWhy creating space to think can improve decision-makingWhy business is unlikely to become completely easyHow performance coaching can improve confidence, focus and leadershipHow successful operators can reach a higher level without burning outMemorable Quote“Stop looking for it to be easy, because when you think it should be easy and it isn't, you think there's something wrong.”Speaker InformationDavid Wilkinson is a mental performance coach at Cockerill & Co. He works with flooring business owners to manage pressure, improve decision-making, develop leadership skills and perform more effectively in both business and life.Where to Find The UK Flooring PodcastListen to The UK Flooring Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.Follow The UK Flooring Podcast on social media for new episodes, clips and practical advice for flooring professionals.

This episode of The UK Flooring Podcast sits down with Jack and Harry from Robert George Limited for a proper behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to run a fast-moving commercial flooring business.From starting during Covid to delivering hundreds of retail and commercial projects across the UK, Jack and Harry talk openly about the pressure, pace and problems that come with working in retail flooring, supermarkets, London Underground stations, and short-notice commercial environments.This is a great episode for anyone in flooring who thinks growth is just about “getting more work”. Because as the lads explain, more work also means more logistics, more cash flow pressure, more moving parts, and more responsibility when something goes wrong.One of the strongest parts of the conversation is around getting off the tools. Harry explains why selling the van helped force the shift from fitter to business owner, and why half-measures rarely work when you're trying to change your role in the company.There's also a brilliant conversation about fear of failure, cash flow, factoring, building a supply chain before you need it, and why knowing what you actually want from your business matters more than just saying you want to grow.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How Jack and Harry started Robert George Limited during CovidWhy retail and supermarket flooring moves at such a fast paceWhat makes London Underground flooring work so difficult operationallyHow short engineering hours can turn a simple job into a major logistical challengeWhy doing 800 smaller jobs a year brings a different kind of pressureHow they build a UK-wide supply chain before the work landsWhy cash flow becomes one of the biggest challenges when a commercial flooring business growsThe pros and cons of using factoring to manage payments and protect the businessWhy getting off the tools often requires a proper decision, not a slow driftHow Harry forced the change by getting rid of the vanWhy more jobs can mean more complaints, even if the percentage of issues stays the sameHow Jack and Harry think about reputation, standards and fixing problems quicklyWhy bringing in the right people matters when you want to move into bigger projectsThe importance of knowing whether you actually want more money, more freedom, more time, or something else entirelyMemorable Quote: “Building your supply chain before you actually need it is key.”Speaker Information:Jack and Harry Robert George Limited Website: https://www.robertgeorge.co.uk LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/robert-george-limited/Where to Find The UK Flooring Podcast:Website: https://theukflooringpodcast.co.uk/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/59DLhGPVKNtVoS656EYtxq Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-uk-flooring-podcast/id1606720642 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theukflooringpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theukflooringpodcast/I've kept the podcast links clean, with no ChatGPT tracking tags or extra parameters.

This episode of The UK Flooring Podcast is a quick-fire chat with Tom and Martyn, breaking down what flooring business owners need to think about if they ever plan to sell.And the big message is simple: if you wait until you're ready to sell, you've probably already left it too late.Tom shares his own experience of selling flooring businesses, while Martyn explains what actually drives value from a buyer's point of view. It's not just about how much profit the business makes. It's about whether the business can run without you, whether the numbers are clean, whether the systems are in place, and whether a buyer can trust what they're buying.They also get into some of the uncomfortable but important stuff, including cash payments, add backs, owner dependency, customer concentration, legal costs, and why proper non-compete agreements matter when a sale goes through.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why preparing to sell your business should start years before you actually want to exit.How profit multipliers affect the value of a flooring business.Why cash jobs and messy accounts can damage the value of your business.What “add backs” are, and how they can affect the final sale price.Why a business that depends too heavily on the owner is harder to sell.The importance of systems, processes, and written ways of working.Why relying on one or two major customers can make your business feel risky to a buyer.What legal costs and non-compete agreements can look like in a small business sale.Why getting your house in order now can make a huge difference later.Memorable Quote:“If you are your business, then that multiplier is going to be pretty low.”Speaker Information:This episode features Tom and Martyn from Cockerill & Co, sharing practical advice for flooring business owners who may be thinking about selling in the future. Drawing on real experience from business sales and consultancy work, they explain what buyers look for, what reduces value, and what owners can do now to build a more saleable business.

This week starts with cabin cleanup and a reality every builder eventually faces: everybody has advice and half of it contradicts the other half.I'm getting ready for flooring installation and trying to sort through the endless opinions on subfloor prep, skim coating, underlayment, and what actually matters versus what just costs more money.Then we dive into a surprisingly heated local debate about a new hotel selling day passes to its infinity pool. Great business idea? Maybe. Great experience for paying hotel guests? That's another question.We also spend time talking Bitcoin, Blockstream's new Jade Core wallet, Fold's growing ecosystem, and why price drops tend to create more opportunity than panic.If you enjoy practical projects, independent thinking, Bitcoin, and occasional rants about things that don't make sense, you'll probably enjoy this one.

Flooring trends may come and go, but durability, longevity and resale value continue to drive homeowner decisions across metro Atlanta. Alex Veit, owner of Oakerds Hardwood Floor Refinishing, joins Host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss best practices for refinishing and installing floors in your home. From historic bungalows with hidden hardwoods to modern homes filled with luxury vinyl plank (LVP), Veit has seen firsthand which materials hold up over time and which ones homeowners often regret installing. Why More Atlanta Homeowners Are Choosing LVP Over Laminate As waterproof flooring products continue gaining popularity, many homeowners still misunderstand the difference between laminate and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. The products often carry similar price points, but their long-term performance can vary significantly, especially in moisture-prone spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms. “They're priced the same, but LVP is truly a waterproof product, where laminate is a water-resistant product at best,” he said. After years of replacing swollen laminate flooring damaged by moisture exposure, Veit now steers homeowners toward higher-quality LVP products instead. However, not all vinyl plank flooring performs equally. Thin, lower-cost products often fail at the locking system, particularly in high-traffic areas. Oakerds avoids installing LVP products thinner than five millimeters due to durability concerns and product recalls. Hardwood Flooring Continues To Set the Standard Hardwood flooring remains one of the most durable and desirable flooring materials in the Atlanta market, and natural white oak floors with simple finishes continue to outperform short-lived design trends years after installation. Hardwood's long-term value comes not only from its appearance but also from its ability to be restored rather than replaced. It can often be refinished multiple times throughout its lifespan, making hardwood flooring a strong long-term investment. “You could get four to five refinishes out of a floor, and that could span over 100 years,” Veit said. While hardwood may scratch more easily than LVP in daily life, refinishing gives homeowners the ability to restore floors instead of fully replacing them after damage occurs. Hardwood vs. LVP For homeowners weighing hardwood against LVP, the right choice often depends on budget, lifestyle and long-term goals for the home. Homeowners looking for longevity and timeless appeal may find hardwood flooring to be the better option. While hardwood typically requires a larger upfront investment, the material can last for generations when properly maintained. “It's been around for over 100 years, and it's going to be around for 100 more,” he said. LVP continues gaining market share because of its versatility and strong day-to-day durability, and it remains especially popular in new construction, rental properties and renovation projects across a wide range of price points. For families with children and pets, LVP often performs better against scratches and general wear in the short term. However, once damaged, replacement becomes the only solution. Refinishing Hardwood Floors: A Smart Investment One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is replacing hardwood floors that could have been refinished instead. In many cases, refinishing offers a more affordable solution while preserving the original character of the home. Certain conditions, however, may justify replacement: Severe structural damage Major water intrusion Engineered hardwood products with veneers too thin to refinish safely Flooring Plays a Major Role in Resale Value Flooring can directly influence how buyers perceive a home during showings. Clean, updated flooring can immediately improve the presentation of a property, while damaged or outdated flooring may raise concerns about maintenance throughout the rest of the house. “Flooring is probably the first thing people see when they walk into the house,” Veit said. Oakerds Launches Online Flooring Calculator To simplify the pricing process, Oakerds recently launched an online flooring calculator that helps homeowners, agents and investors estimate project costs before scheduling consultations. Veit created the tool to give consumers faster access to pricing information while helping real estate professionals make quicker renovation decisions during transactions. The calculator allows users to estimate refinishing, replacement and installation costs in about one minute. Users can also submit their information directly through the platform to request follow-up consultations and verified project estimates. With more than 15 years of experience serving metro Atlanta, Oakerds Hardwood Floor Refinishing provides homeowners, investors and real estate professionals with solutions that balance durability, functionality and long-term value. Whether uncovering original hardwoods beneath outdated carpet or helping clients select the best materials for their homes, the company combines hands-on craftsmanship with practical industry expertise to support confident investment decisions.

Affordable Interior Design presents Big Design, Small Budget
In this episode of the Uploft Interior Design Podcast, I took listeners through a whirlwind day in my life as an interior designer, recording the podcast late at night in my pajamas after juggling an intense client load and several exciting projects across New York City. I shared the thrill of finally working inside the iconic Apthorp building, a longtime dream of mine, and described being completely enchanted by its historic architecture and beautifully renovated apartment, even though my client's sleek modern style challenged me to balance old-world elegance with contemporary design. I also talked about transforming a post-COVID office space into a vibrant collaborative environment, upcoming client reveals, and designing a cozy reading retreat for a romance book influencer whose breathtaking views may soon disappear behind new construction. Along the way, I reflected on how grateful I still feel after 23 years in design, promoted my Interior Design Academy, and answered a listener's flooring question by recommending tile and thoughtful material transitions to modernize her home without overwhelming it with conflicting wood tones.

On this episode I chatted with Candy from Davis Carpet and Flooring in Yukon right off Route 66. Davis Carpet first opened its doors in November 1969, in Enid, Oklahoma. Prior to this, owner Ray Davis was employed as a fireman and worked part-time at a carpet store. At only 23 years old and a new dad to a four month old baby girl, Ray begrudgingly accepted a $1,000 loan from his parents, Lee and Ellen Davis of Bethany. Ray's parents were supportive yet nervous as Ray embarked on his new journey into the flooring world. https://daviscarpetok.com/ www.voidok.org Huge thank you to our sponsors.

Welcome to the Monday Minute, brought to you by Collections Boot Camp with AI from Godwin Consulting — your weekly reset to lead better, think clearer, and build your independent dealership with intention. You don't make your money when you buy the car. You don't even make it when you price it. You make it when you sell it — and the faster that happens, the more efficient your entire used car dealership becomes. In this episode, Luke and Jeff break down one of the most ignored numbers in the independent dealer business: turn time. They walk through what a healthy turn looks like (1.5 is the sweet spot, around 45 days), how to calculate yours straight out of your DMS by dividing your average inventory by your average monthly sales, and why slow inventory is quietly killing your profitability. Lot rot is real — Jeff can point to two cars literally grown into the asphalt of his dealership. Aged units force discounts. Flooring fees, curtailments, and interest pile up. And every week a car sits, you're missing the chance to put something fresher and more exciting in front of a customer. Luke and Jeff dig into what's actually slowing dealers down — pricing, reconditioning delays, merchandising, or simply the wrong cars on the lot — and give you the math and the mindset to fix it. Turn time isn't just a number, it's a discipline. Your assignment this week: calculate your turn honestly, and identify one thing you can change to pick up the speed. Speed isn't pressure — it's the strategy for being a great independent car dealer. Review this week's Sunday newsletter at www.theindependentdealer.com for the full theme and exercises.
