When you add environmental responsibility to the ruperior performance and lasting beauty of Shaw's Epic Hardwood Flooring, you have a product that's appealing on every level.

We hear so much today about the depletion of the earth's resources and the importance of conservation. Did you know that each year there are over 1.7 billion trees planted in the United States? That's more than 5 trees for each person in America. Epic Hardwood Flooring reinforces forest sustainablility practices, from Shaw's environmentally conscious purchasing proctices alll the way through to the low-waste manufacturing process. By striving to use every part of the tree in the manufacturing process of Epic hardwood's veneer, core and backing, Shaw continues to conserve materials, actually enhancing our planet's resources. That's the Shaw Green Edge.

Epic Hardwood flooring features EnviroCore, a high density fiber core derived from recycled wood fiber which means fewer trees are used with less waste. Epic Hardwood uses up to 67% less harvested wood than comparable solid wood flooring and it comes from managed forests. That's the Shaw Green Edge.

1) the warmth and luster of a living, renewable resource;
2) a durable, easy-care foundation for your family's lifestyle:
