Your floors have a major impact on the character of your home. A beautiful floor draws the eye and can be used as a focal point of the space. One of the most popular flooring options that has stood the test of time is hardwood flooring.

The Epic line also uses 50% less newly harvested wood than their competitor products by using recycled wood materials in their patented core structure. Shaw is also dedicated to sustainability and they are certified Cradle to Cradle which means that their products are certified to be safe for consumers and can be reused or recycled after use. They are currently running at 65% Cradle to Cradle products but have pledged to become 100% by 2030.
