Room Sets Feature In Showroom Refurb

With the credit crunch meaning more and more people are currently renovating their existing homes instead of moving, a leading London tile supplier is displaying its products in a different way to ensure customers make a more informed choice.

It is also paying dividends for Carvall Group Ltd in the form of increased sales.

The company has completely refurbished the 3,500 square foot showroom at its head office in Tottenham by creating 17 'room sets', including wetrooms and bathrooms, which display and demonstrate essential tile protection and finishing products from market leader Schlüter-Systems.

Around 25 Schlüter products from its extensive ranges of floor and wall profiles and matting systems are displayed in the room sets and have led to Carvall increasing its sales and turnover. Retail Sales Director Robert Carvall says they find that customers more readily buy a product if they can see how it actually looks in an installation and can understand what it does and how it works.

He said: "It's proving to be absolutely priceless for us to display Schlüter-Systems' products in these room sets so that customers can see how installations look if they’re done properly. Many customers just don’t realise what is available in the market place for them to finish and protect their tiles, not only to make them look good now but also to keep them looking good in years to come."
