In the late 80s, Christy Hyland was working as a plasterer in The Netherlands where he noticed the widespread use of quartz carpets in homes. Fascinated by their durability and aesthetic value, Christy and his wife Patricia felt that this type of flooring had potential in the Irish market.
They both set about learning all they could about the resin flooring industry and in 1990 Natural Stone Carpets was born. The company’s first product launched at the Plan Expo 1990 and, needless to say, it was a huge success winning Best Interior Product for two years running.
