DALLAS, TX (March 6, 2007) – Carpet One Floor & Home introduced a new exclusive collection of cork products at their annual Winter Convention in Dallas. The collection includes 15 styles in two categories: Montado Oak and Montado Earth.

Carpet One Floor & Home chose to introduce this unique exclusive collection due to the growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products for the home. Unlike any other flooring surface, cork is a natural product, making it completely recyclable and biodegradable.

“Cork has some unique characteristics that make it very appealing to today’s homeowners,” explained Charlie Dilks, COO of Carpet One Floor & Home and President of Carpet One Floor & Home Canada. “It is extremely resilient, reduces noise and offers more warmth than any other type of flooring. Plus, it is a renewable and sustainable resource, making it an environmentally friendly product.”

“We are very excited to introduce the Montado Earth and Montado Oak collections,” continued Carpet One Floor & Home President, Evan Hackel. “These collections will provide our members with a distinctive new product, helping them to stay on the cutting-edge of home furnishings trends.”

The Montado Earth collection includes three styles with blocked, random and linear looks, while the Montado Oak collection features three styles in a total of 12 colors. With an insulating cork underlay, these products offer additional warmth and noise reduction. Plus, they feature a high-endurance vinyl anti-scratch finish, considered the most revolutionary on the market.

The Montado Earth collection has a 15-year residential warranty and a 5-year commercial warranty. The Montado Oak collection has a 25-year residential warranty and an impressive 15-year commercial warranty.

The Montado collections will be available in Carpet One Floor & Home stores throughout North America in April 2007.
