Laminate Wood Floors in Johannesburg

Southern African Wood & Laminate Flooring Association strive to set and maintain the industry standards with regards to wooden flooring and lamination.

Interest in recent years in the use of traditional wood floors and the newer generation laminate flooring in commercial and domestic buildings prompted responsible local business concerns to form an industry representative body. This initiative is in line with comparable organisations throughout the world, many of which have been active for a considerable length of time. This can be seen in the established European and other national standards bodies that have contributed enormously to high standards in refined products. These high standards are now synonymous with the South African wood and laminate industry. Thus, the Southern African Wood and Laminate Flooring Association (SAWLFA) was formed in November 1998 to develop an awareness of wood and laminate flooring and to address the needs of both the local industry and the customer. Future success for all our businesses lies in our collective hands. Only through the medium of a strong, pro-active industry body can we fully promote the products, our expertise and services on a professional basis. A quality wood and laminate flooring installation is entirely dependent upon a fully professional service, initiated by the integrity of member companies, their directors and staff. All members will discharge their duties and responsibilities in accordance with the laws of the country. All members will maintain the highest standards of honesty and integrity towards their clients, employees and each other. All members will carry out their responsibilities diligently and in good faith. All members will maintain and exercise due care to prevent unauthorised disclosure of confidential matters.
