About the CFA
AGM Flooring became members of the Contract Flooring
Association in July 1992, the association was formed in 1973 by
the amalgamation of three small flooring associations: The Floor
Covering Contractors Association, whose members specialized primarily
in smooth floor coverings: the Association of Flooring Contractors
(hardwood flooring) and the Carpet Planners Association.
Its present membership, therefore, consists of contractors
engaged in the installation of all floor finishes including in-situ
floorings and sub-floor screeds, with manufacturers and distributors
of flooring materials, adhesives and accessories. There is also
a category of membership for flooring consultants.
One of the CFA's major functions
is to promote the flooring industry to the architect and specifier.
Following the selection of material and no less important, is the
choice of flooring contractor. In this regard, the CFA can be of
valuable assistance since the criteria it demands from companies
seeking membership are high.
A minimum of 2 years trading is
mandatory and the applicant must be sponsored by 2 existing members.
Trade reference and evidence of
public liability insurance are required, with full details of4 recent
contracts, any one of which may be inspected by a member of the
CFA Council.
This procedure ensures that an
architect nominating a CFA member can do so with confidence, secure
in the knowledge that the company is stable and maintains a high
standard of workmanship.
