A Shade of America, a line of designer cut-pile nylon carpet, is the most recent in a growing family of quality floorcovering products from Shaw Industries. Introduced in January, the line designed by Kathy Ireland focuses on color as the heart and soul of carpet design. With 90 shades ranging from dramatic to subtle, Ireland gives decorators and homeowners a virtual rainbow of color options. Shades of America comes in four styles, providing the homeowner with a custom fit in terms of weight and texture.

All carpet requires a backing material in order to retain its shape and texture. SoftBac Platinum is a foundation system born of the partnership between Shaw and SI Flooring Systems. Enhanced thermal insulation can reduce the cost of heating and cooling the home. The acoustic insulation of SoftBac Platinum makes for a quieter home environment. Comfort is another benefit, as the carpet actually feels softer underfoot.
