Shaw Floors has announced the introduction of several new PET styles available for the Fall selling season. In addition to Painted Stone, an innovative PET style inspired by natural stone looks, the company will introduce two “Power Buys” that reflect value pricing ideal for both roll inventory and cut-order when budget is the primary consideration.
While the initial concept for Painted Stone was a granite look, it grew into a broader scope, including limestone, semi-precious stones, and even poured concrete. However, using natural stone as an inspiration went beyond aesthetics. Emily Morrow, Shaw’s residential director of color, style, and design, says, “There’s an aspect of coordination we considered, since today’s homeowners are striving to connect the diverse surfaces within their homes to create a harmonious continuity.” Morrow noted that names for the style’s 16 colors were derived from the sources they’re based upon, such as quartz, feldspar, golden topaz, and pumice.
