CHICAGO, Mar 19, 2003 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ --
Rug in a Box(TM) and Room in a Box(TM) Create Endless Interior Design Possibilities
Something new is
underfoot in the home design market that will revolutionize the way people think
about their floors. Interface, Inc. (Nasdaq: IFSIA), the world's largest
manufacturer of commercial carpet tile, is introducing a residential line of
high-style floorcovering -- InterfaceFLOR(TM). Composed of changeable 19.5
square-inch tiles, InterfaceFLOR comes in two formats: Rug in a Box(TM) or a
Room in a Box(TM) -- new options for people who like to play with design.
"We see 'DIY' as both 'do-it-yourself' and 'design-it-yourself,'" said
InterfaceFLOR President Greg Colando. "Commercial interior designers have used
modular flooring for years. Now, this fun and functional design product puts
regular people in the role of designer."
The Freedom to Design
InterfaceFLOR allows people to create their own unique floorcoverings and change
their minds -- and their floors -- as often as they like. Available in a diverse
array of fashion-forward color palettes, patterns and unique textures,
InterfaceFLOR empowers consumers to have creative control over the largest
canvas in their homes -- their floors. From checkerboards to stripes to bordered
rugs, InterfaceFLOR's multiple patterns can change the look of a room to fit any
style, season or mood.
With Rug in a Box and Room in a Box, InterfaceFLOR offers pre-packaged
complementary patterns and colors that can be used to create endless area rug
and wall-to-wall designs. Included in the colorful, friendly package for both
options are easy-to-read installation instructions and suggestions for pattern
arrangements.
Whether the desired look is modern and cutting edge or warm and inviting, Rug in
a Box and Room in a Box bring top-notch quality and style to any room.
Smarter Home Product
InterfaceFLOR was designed to be smart and hassle-free with several unique
features:
-- Easily installed, replaced and cleaned-No messy glue or staples
required for installation. Tiles are backed by small, low-tack
adhesive dots that keep them in place. And cleaning is a snap, as
individual tiles can be washed in the sink.
-- Durable -- Favored by commercial interior designers, InterfaceFLOR is
proven to be tough enough to withstand years of use.
-- Changeable -- InterfaceFLOR offers the same design options as
traditional hard surfaces (tile, linoleum, parquet) but in a moveable
and versatile format.
-- Less wasteful and better for the environment -- Instead of removing the
entire carpet, consumers can replace individual tiles when they become
stained or worn, leaving the rest of the floor as is.
-- At home anywhere -- InterfaceFLOR is ideal for any room in the house:
family room, kitchen, bedroom, college dorm room, home office, kid's
room, basement and garage.
A New Way to Buy Floorcovering
In March 2003, InterfaceFLOR will be sold at www.interfaceflor.com and by
catalog (1-866-281-FLOR), allowing shoppers to buy their floorcoverings when and
where they want. Featuring the full InterfaceFLOR product line in an extensive
gallery of photos, the catalog and Web site will provide helpful hints and
examples from interior designers. The Web site has an easy-to-use, intuitive
layout to help shoppers visualize an endless array of InterfaceFLOR patterns and
arrangements on-screen and preview their selections before they buy. Finally,
product will be conveniently delivered to their doorsteps in compact boxes
allowing for easy installation.
