The Contract Flooring Journal is the official magazine of the Contract Flooring Association and has been established since 1989.

Regular features in CFJ are 'Installation of the Month', 'Training Courses', 'Case Reports', 'Products' and 'Website Directory' among many others. A favourite with many readers is 'In the Dock' a light-hearted insight into the lives of some of the personalities in the industry.
