Since its launch, the awards scheme has gained immediate respect as a badge of honour to be associated with distinctive products, services and technologies.
INDEPENDENT
JUDGES
JUDGES
An independent panel of judges made up of independent flooring industry leaders and commentators will select the best after detailed research of submissions.
The industry's prestigious awards scheme was launched by The Stocklists magazine in 2018 to great acclaim and welcomed across the industry as an exceptional, independent award scheme.
For 2025, the judges have picked winners in 10 key categories and will also choose a select few for the Gold awards - the "best of the best" to be announced later.
The Flooring Innovation Awards are proudly sponsored by The Stocklists
magazine.
