Eight years ago, we started the FCI Installation Awards. What started as just that—a simple way to showcase the range of talent across categories in the floor covering installation industry—has since grown to become so much more; a platform that not only amplifies the talent within our industry, but attracts and inspires those outside of it.

While our industry as a whole experienced many firsts this year, one thing about 2020 remained the same: our desire here at FCI to showcase the extraordinary talent, craftsmanship and skill of the flooring installation industry.

At HSHS St. Vincent Children’s Hospital Pediatric Emergency Center, every detail is tailored to kids.

When it was time to select flooring for this space, which the restaurant’s website describes as whimsical, Quality Bistro looked to the expertise of New York-based Architectural Flooring Resource.

When it was time to change the carpet in the community’s leasing office and clubhouse space, expectations were high, but The Park at Arlington Ridge’s management knew just who to call on for the job.

As a community project orchestrated by Archetypal Gallery Wood Floors, teams brought realism into the customer’s house with a custom request that replicated the home’s existing parquet design in mosaic.

H.J. Martin and Son installer Josh Carlson knows just what it takes to create an award-winning ceramic tile and stone install for a homeowner.

A project that many would see as a challenge—himself included—Naleid of Y's Way Flooring took this on with creativity and expertise.

In the sixth edition of our FCI Installation Awards, we were yet again blown away by the talent, craftsmanship and skill of the flooring installation industry.
