We’re delighted that the Contract Flooring Journal (CFJ) has featured our latest article in both its September print edition and online.

The article — “Commercial flooring adhesives and smoothing compounds: how brand loyalty and market pressures are shaping 2025” — explores some of the key dynamics influencing this important sector of the flooring market. Drawing on insights from our research, it highlights how manufacturers, distributors, and installers are navigating challenges around supply, costs, and shifting preferences, while also showing the strong role brand loyalty continues to play in product choice.

This is a timely topic, with adhesives and smoothing compounds playing such a central role in flooring specification and installation. Our market research helps stakeholders understand not just the numbers, but also the attitudes and behaviours driving the market forward.
