After working in the tile industry for years doing everything from installation to store management, Wout decided to follow his dream and start his own business. He left his full-time position at B&N Flooring and set out to create a business plan for his own wholesale tile company. Once the plan was approved, he boarded a plane to Italy and began meeting with potential suppliers. Wout was successful on this trip and left Italy with his first major supplier secured. In August, 1991, Elegant Flooring was born.
