Animal Print Carpet Tiles

These bold animal print floor designs are really wild and guaranteed to get noticed. These prints are great for bedrooms, living rooms, playrooms, conservatories...

Whether you want something really wild like the zebra print carpet tiles or the more subtle giraffe print floor they are really great modern designs.

Click here to see these designs on heuga.com.

These are perfect if you are creating a themed room such as safari style, cowboy theme or if you have a thing for animal prints and want to incorporate it into your interior design schemes.

These pictures all show these animal print carpet tiles used in a wall to wall pattern. If you would prefer to tone it down, you could use a tile or two within a plain floor of carpet tiles or you could create a rug design incorporating an Animal print tile as an accent within a patterned rug.

See our FLOR by heuga stories page on http://www.heuga.com/ to see how one of our customers used our zebra print floor tiles on the wall and another customer that created a rug using the zebra print carpet tile amongst other plain colours.

Heuga TV Advert

Last year (before the name change to FLOR by heuga) we created a TV advert.

The advert features some children playing with the carpet tiles and changing the design on the floor.

I have uploaded it to You Tube and you can go directly to it by clicking on the link below:

Store display in Aldiss, Norwich

In answer to our customers seeking a more inspirational experience in stores, we have recently developed a new store display that we are introducing to our top retailers.

These photos show one of our first to be installed in Aldiss in Norwich.

The stand sits on our fantastic Russian floor design which means customers can see and feel the floor in situ as well as see full tiles, catalogues and sample chips.

The man on the left of the photo is the floorcoverings manager, Neil Hubbard. The man on the right is the assistant manager, Ian Dodson.

All the staff in the store are really excited about the new display and absolutely love the Russian design on the floor so they will be more than happy to chat to customers about the FLOR collection.

Aldiss is a great store selling furniture, homewares and of course flooring including FLOR by heuga. If you want to see our display the Aldiss superstore is located on Hall Road Retail Park, Norwich, Norfolk. Tel: 0845 230 3388.

Florbyheuga.com - find me!

Recently it has come to my attention that our website http://www.florbyheuga.com/ isn't coming up in the results on UK search engines. It turns out this is because our website is a .com site rather than a .co.uk site and some other technical complications.

Not only is this an irritation to me (as I like to see lots of visitors on our website), but it's also not nice for the people in the UK that actually want to find our website and are denied the opportunity to see our pretty pictures, inspirational carpet designs and learn all about FLOR by heuga.

We are working on a solution and it will take some time to kick in with Google and the like so in the meantime, this is a blatant attempt to get some results for FLOR by heuga in the UK so that people can find our site when searching for us. I don't know if it will work but it's certainly worth a try!

Noisy hard floors - sound proofing with carpet tiles

We are getting a lot of enquiries from customers about reducing the noise problems with hard floors such as laminate, solid wood and slate.

Carpet tiles are a great solution to the problem of noisy floors as you can simply lay the tiles on top of the hard floor (as long as the hard floor is fairly level).

Here you can see a coloured runner created on top of stone tiles. The FLOR tiles are simply stuck down with some double sided tape and this has reduced the noise problem in a big way. These are not permanent so they can be changed around or lifted as and when desired without damaging the hard floor below. Also there is no need to worry about slips and trips as the low height of the tiles means this is not a problem.

This 'rainbow runner' was created using various colours from the FLOR by heuga Tender Touch and PuzzlePieces ranges.

Teamwork - Dinner at Grand Designs Live

Here's some of the team relaxing and enjoying a well deserved Tapas meal in Canary Wharf following a long day at the show. Over the nine days at Grand Designs Live we saw and chatted to thousands of people - many who had never heard of carpet tiles, modular flooring or FLOR by Heuga and were amazed with this amazing new concept!

It was tough on our feet but we all kept each other going and made it a really great show. Sanne did a great job organising things and making sure everything ran smoothly and spirits remained high as we all kept each other going throughout the show.
