About FCW

The Industry's Leading News & Information Resource

Floor Covering Weekly (FCW) has been the industry’s leading source for the latest news and information for 70 years. What has kept this publication and all of its platforms at the top? A deep commitment to serving the floor covering specialty retailer drives us every day. FCW keeps a sharp focus on the most relevant content to support the floor covering business from the latest news and trends to successful business strategies, sustainability stories, product innovation, technology and more — all content aimed at helping retailers thrive in today’s competitive environment.

Every few years we conduct a third-party independent Readership Survey that, year after year, consistently shows that FCW is the most meaningful publication to the flooring industry. The data, in fact, reports FCW as the No. 1 publication for its integrity, respect, relationships and meaningful content. We work hard to deliver on that promise with every issue.

And to make sure we meet your diverse needs, in addition to producing 24 information-packed issues, we deliver 10 Floor Covering 101 Guides to assist the retail sales associate (RSA) in the selling process. In 2021, the Guides included Rigid Core, Hardwood, Tile & Stone, Laminate, Waterproof & Water-resistant, Carpet, Flexible LVT & Sheet Vinyl, Installation, Digital & Software and Style & Design. Each was developed to provide clarity in the ever-changing floor covering product segments. We continue to be at the forefront of information and education and will continue to create vehicles to meet your business needs.

2021 also expanded FCW’s latest endeavor FCWLive, a video platform that provides impactful conversations with floor covering retail and supplier leaders, trend reports, installation demonstrations and on-the-scene activity.
