This week on The Huddle, we’re diving deep into the latest hard surface flooring trends with special guest Scott Rozmus. From hardwood (solid vs. engineered) to resilient (SPC, WPC, sheet vinyl, and PVC-free options), laminate’s comeback, and even old standbys like VCT—Scott brings his perspective on where the industry is headed.
We’ll also tackle tariffs and their impact, opportunities for installers who specialize in sheet vinyl, and how crossover products are shaping both commercial and residential markets. Plus, Scott shares valuable insights on building relationships with distributors, navigating claims, and exploring career paths in flooring.
If you’re looking for a pulse on the hard surface flooring market and practical industry advice, this episode is packed with takeaways you won’t want to miss.
