Manchester, NH (August 25, 2005) — A breakthrough product is what Flooring America and Flooring Canada think of their newest and most versatile stain-resistant carpet introduction.

Capitalizing on extensive testing, research, and the latest technology, Resista™, exclusive to Flooring America, Flooring Canada, and CCA Global Partners members, incorporates revolutionary stain-resistance, long-term durability, rich color clarity, silky softness, and affordability.

“Resista™ lets Flooring America and CCA Global Partners provide its members with a tool that no other buying group has and no other retailer can duplicate,” said Vinnie Virga, president of Flooring America. “This is truly a watershed event. Not only have we created a more compelling product, but we are also heightening customers’ expectations about their flooring and simplifying their daily routines.” Resista™ Carpet will feature enhanced warranties, including a Full, 10-Year Non Pro-Rated Food And Beverage Stain Warranty, a No Questions Asked 60-Day Replacement Warranty, a Lifetime Installation Warranty, a 15-Year Limited Wear Warranty, and a 5-Year Limited Texture Retention Warranty. This top quality performance carpet features 3- and 4-star ratings within the Flooring America Five Star System Selection guide.

The Advanced Generation, Stain-Repellant fiber of Resista™ Carpet makes common household spills simple to remove because the enhanced fiber technology of Resista™ actually repels liquid, making it perfect for high activity areas.

In addition to increased durability, the enhanced color clarity of Resista™ provides an indulgent selection of hundreds of bright, lustrous colors in 16 of today’s hottest styles and textures, including cut pile, level loop, textured loop, tip shear, and multi-level loop.

“We have been working hard on the development of Resista™ for a long time,” said Randy McHolm, vice president of merchandising. “I expect a tremendous reaction to the quality and affordability of this very durable and stain-resistant carpet.”
