CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 19, 2004--InterfaceFLOR has
announced a nationwide partnership and product roll-out with Lowe's.
Part of Interface, Inc. (Nasdaq:IFSIA), the world's largest
manufacturer of commercial carpet tile, InterfaceFLOR is the first
high-style, modular floorcovering created for the residential market.
InterfaceFLOR will begin the roll-out in September 2004, and by
early October will be available in every Lowe's store. Lowe's, which
has named InterfaceFLOR the primary category vendor, will carry
several InterfaceFLOR product lines, colors and textures.
The launch of InterfaceFLOR in 2003 introduced a new floorcovering
concept to the residential market. Composed of 19.5 by 19.5-inch
moveable tiles, InterfaceFLOR provides the beauty and warmth of an
area rug or wall-to-wall carpeting with the performance of a harder
surface. With a moveable and changeable format and quick and easy
installation, InterfaceFLOR is DIY in more ways than one:
do-it-yourself and design-it-yourself.
InterfaceFLOR offers an almost endless array of design options
with multiple patterns, inviting colors and contemporary textures. The
recent launch of 14 new product lines in Spring 2004 more than doubled
the available InterfaceFLOR product colors, textures and design
possibilities.
"The InterfaceFLOR partnership with Lowe's leverages our mutual
commitment to forward thinking, progressive design," said Greg
Colando, President of InterfaceFLOR. "We are thrilled that Lowe's will
be the first national retailer to carry InterfaceFLOR, and are looking
forward to bringing this new floorcovering solution to even more
consumers in 2004."
