Mohawk Celebrates Unveiling of 'Green House'

Atlanta, GA, Sept. 17, 2008--Brock Built Homes, WSB-TV, Mohawk Industries, and others celebrated the construction of Brock Built’s Going Green “The Green House,” with an open house for participating companies.

Attendees lined up across the street and were treated to their first look at the home when a Mohawk tractor-trailer moved out of the way, revealing the unique charity project.

Going Green “The Green House” features a variety of green and environmentally sound building technologies.  The home was constructed by Brock Built of Atlanta and will be showcased in WSB-TV’s ongoing “Going Green Georgia” series, which shows viewers the things they can do to live a green lifestyle.
 
The Brock Built “Green House” will be the subject of a WSB-TV special primetime television program on Sept. 17.  The TV special will kick off an online auction for the house, with the proceeds going to benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.  Bidding will begin at $350,000, and bids will be taken online from September 17 through October 3.

Mohawk contributed SmartStrand carpet made with DuPont Sorona renewably sourced polymer to “The Green House,” while DalTile, a Mohawk sister company, contributed the ceramic tile.
