Shaw Showcased In Traditional Home Show

Dalton, GA, November 1, 2007- Shaw’s eco-friendly Epic hardwood is featured in a Traditional Home Show house located in Atlanta, Georgia.

Traditional Home magazine has built a trio of homes that brings the ideas and inspiration from the magazine’s pages to life in a one-of-a-kind showcase, open to the public for tours starting November 3. The magazine has partnered with builder Pam Sessions of the Atlanta-based Hedgewood Properties to construct the luxury town homes in Woodstock, Georgia.

“Traditional Home decided to bring this project to Atlanta because it is an area that is rich in culture and affluence,” says Scott Sandlin, Shaw’s vice president of hard surface development.

“Atlanta is the fastest growing city and metro area, and the magazine wanted to offer three creative show homes to inspire Atlanta homeowners and Traditional Home readers to create well-designed and luxurious homes to fit their specific needs and desires. It was a perfect opportunity to promote Epic hardwood to this forward-thinking audience.”

Shaw’s Wellington, walnut color, 5-inch hardwoods, are featured in the town home representing a woman the magazine has named a “standout." The magazine her as a single professional woman who is all about personal style and a high quality of life. If a product is hot, the “standout” consumer has to have it.

Epic uses up to two-thirds less harvested wood than alternative wood flooring options and comes from managed forests. Epic’s dense inner layer is composed of wood fiber that’s created in the manufacture of other products.
