Serving Highland with the highest quality Shaw Flooring Products

Shaw Flooring Products come up in almost every conversation I have with customers at our Highland showroom. Before we start looking at samples, I like to learn a little about the home. A family with young children usually has different flooring needs than an empty nester, and someone with two dogs is shopping for something entirely different than someone furnishing a guest room.

People sometimes ask me which floor I’d put in my own house. My answer is always, “Tell me a little about yours first.” Once I know how a room is used and who’s living there, it’s much easier to recommend the right Shaw Flooring Products rather than simply pointing to whatever’s popular.

Why do so many homeowners choose Shaw Flooring Products?

Shaw Flooring Products has earned a strong reputation for offering something for just about everyone. Whether you’re shopping for soft carpet, beautiful hardwood, waterproof luxury vinyl, laminate, or tile, you’ll find plenty of choices without feeling like every floor looks the same.

The biggest piece of advice I can give is this. Don’t start by choosing a color.

Start by thinking about how you use the room.

Is it where the grandkids play? Does the dog run through the house after being outside? Is it the kitchen where everyone gathers? Once we know how the room is used, narrowing down Shaw Flooring Products becomes much easier.

Which Shaw Flooring Products are the most popular?

People often ask me what other homeowners are buying. While every project is different, these are some of the Shaw Flooring Products we recommend every day.

• Browse Shaw carpet if comfort is your priority. Bedrooms, family rooms, and finished basements are popular places for carpet.
• Explore Shaw hardwood flooring if you love the softness and charm of real wood.
• Consider Shaw luxury vinyl flooring for kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, and homes with busy families.
• Consider Shaw laminate flooring if you want the look of hardwood with easy, everyday maintenance.
• Discover Shaw tile for bathrooms, laundry rooms, fireplaces, and entryways.

The nice thing about Shaw Flooring Products is that there isn’t one collection that’s right for everyone. That’s why we spend time learning about your home before pointing you toward a specific floor.

Is Anderson Tuftex part of Shaw Flooring Products?

Yes. Anderson Tuftex is one of the premium brands within the Shaw family, and it’s one I enjoy showing customers who want something a little different.

Sometimes someone comes into the showroom expecting to buy luxury vinyl. Then they see an Anderson Tuftex hardwood floor or run their hand across one of the carpets, and the conversation changes. The craftsmanship really stands out when you see it in person.

If you’ve never looked at Anderson Tuftex before, it’s worth spending a few extra minutes exploring the displays.

How does COREtec fit into the Shaw Flooring family?

COREtec is one of the most recognized luxury vinyl brands within the Shaw Flooring family, and it’s a collection I often show customers who want a floor that can keep up with everyday life.

Many customers who visit our showroom are looking for a floor that can handle everyday life without a lot of extra worry. They usually ask about things like muddy shoes, pet accidents, and the occasional spill. COREtec is one of the options we like to show because it gives homeowners the look of wood or stone while offering the durability they need for busy areas of the home.

One thing customers appreciate about COREtec is the variety of styles available. Whether someone prefers a lighter wood look, a deeper tone, or the appearance of natural stone, there are options that work with many different decorating styles.

One of the best ways to understand COREtec is to see it in person. The details in the surface texture and the way each plank looks together are hard to appreciate from a computer screen. I always encourage customers to take a look at the samples and compare them with the other flooring options they are considering.

What about Shaw Flooring Products for businesses?

Philadelphia Commercial is another part of the Shaw family and was created specifically for commercial spaces.

Business owners usually aren’t looking for the softest carpet or the trendiest color. They want flooring that still looks good after hundreds of people walk across it every day. Offices, restaurants, healthcare facilities, schools, and retail spaces all have different needs, which is why we take time to recommend products based on how the space is actually used.

What’s one piece of flooring advice I give almost every customer?

Here’s something I wish more homeowners knew before making a final decision.

Take flooring samples home.

Showroom lighting is different from the lighting in your house. A floor can look warmer in the morning, cooler in the evening, or completely different next to your cabinets or furniture. I always encourage customers to live with a sample for a day or two before making a decision.

Another tip is to think beyond today’s paint color. Flooring usually stays in your home much longer than wall colors, furniture, or accessories. Choosing something you’ll still enjoy years from now usually pays off.

Why visit our Highland or Mokena showroom?

Shopping online is a great way to gather ideas, but flooring is one of those purchases that’s easier when you can actually see and touch it.

Our Highland showroom gives you the chance to compare Shaw Flooring Products side by side, ask questions, and get honest advice without feeling pressured. If you’re closer to our Mokena, Illinois, location, you’ll receive the same personalized service there, too.

If you’re doing a little homework before stopping in, spend some time reading our flooring blog. We write about the questions customers ask us every day, along with ideas that might help you narrow down your choices. When you’re ready, you can also look through our flooring products online, then come see the samples in person at either showroom.

Helping people choose flooring is one of my favorite parts of the job because every project is different. Whether you’re updating a single room or planning a whole home renovation, we’d love to help you find the Shaw Flooring Products that make the most sense for your home, your family, and your budget.
