Hannover, Germany, Sept. 11, 2012 -- The organizers of Domotex, the trade show for carpets and floor coverings, say 1,400 companies from 60 countries will be exhibiting their latest collections in Hannover Jan. 12-15.

They also expect visitors from more than 80 countries, and 90 percent of show visitors are flooring buyers and decision-makers, architects, interior designers and members of the skilled trades.

The main theme of Domotex 2013 will be Flooring Deluxe, which addresses a significant trend on the international flooring market.

In short, the show will be putting a sharp focus on products which excel in terms of design, quality and originality.

Flooring Deluxe will feature textile coverings, parquet and laminate flooring. The showcase will feature two dedicated sections, with textile floor coverings to be addressed in Hall 6 and parquet and laminate flooring in Hall 9.

Areas will also be set aside for live presentations, product installations and a lecture program, thus creating an all-encompassing showcase that fully addresses the information needs and interests of trade visitors, skilled tradespeople, architects and interior designers.

In addition, Concept Rooms will feature exclusive product installations featured in a series of rooms.

Their modular format lends itself to visionary concepts and room designs in which flooring plays a pivotal role. This can take the form of a holistic or novel room design, a commercial setting, a specially featured material or an unconventional installation.
