Inside Project Miriah: From Prep to Perfection

This special episode of The Underlay Podcast takes listeners behind the scenes of Project Miriah, a groundbreaking collaboration between Clever Choice Flooring, RLA Polymers, and the FCIA.

Over five intensive days in August 2025, the team came together to deliver a complete flooring installation inside a two-storey townhouse. From subfloor preparation to the final installation, the project showcased not only Clever Choice's premium vinyl and hybrid products but also the expertise of RLA's adhesives and compounds, and the hands-on involvement of FCIA apprentices.

Hosts Matt White and Michael Roberts guide us through the journey, sharing insights from key stakeholders. Listeners hear directly from Fiona of the FCIA about the importance of apprenticeships, the pathways into flooring, and the value of exposing trainees to new products and techniques. Apprentices Carli, Jarra, and Max share their nerves, excitement, and determination as they tackle vinyl, hybrid flooring, and a staircase installation, an essential milestone in their training.

RLA's Matt and Safi open up about subfloor prep, levelling, and the science behind their adhesives, while FCIA trainer Ryan provides expert commentary on what it takes to deliver a flawless installation. Store owners Simon and Fiona from Carpet Court Coffs Harbour also weigh in, highlighting the vital role apprentices play in the future of the trade.

Project Miriah wasn't just about flooring; it was about education, collaboration, and industry growth. With hours of content filmed, including a 38-step Clever Choice installation guide, this initiative sets a new benchmark for training and industry storytelling.

From the technical precision of subfloor preparation to the excitement of apprentices completing real-world modules on site, this episode captures the heart of an industry committed to building skills and supporting its next generation. Whether you're a flooring professional, a business owner, or simply curious about the craft behind the floors beneath your feet, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and lessons.
