Covington's commercial flooring market is shaped by three industries that coexist nowhere else in the Atlanta metro. The film and television production industry — which has used Covington as a filming location for dozens of productions including the Vampire Diaries — requires commercial flooring that meets production specifications: period-accurate for historic structures, durable for crew use, and installable around production schedules.
Oxford College of Emory University creates institutional flooring demand: classrooms, offices, dormitories, and campus facilities require durable commercial carpet tile, sheet vinyl, and concrete flooring that withstands academic use. The Route 278 and Newton County commercial corridor needs standard commercial flooring for retail tenants, restaurants, and medical offices — an underserved market since major commercial flooring contractors historically have not prioritized Newton County.
