Decorate with Confidence
HUMAN TOUCH
The dimensional elements have never been more important than today. Tactile,
textural, subtle gradations, contrasting embroidery, hand-scraped or hand-polished
wood: the surface speaks volumes to the human eye and human touch. The variety
of offerings provide the look of a "one of a kind" product with affordable value.

PERFORMANCE
On a scale of 1 to 5, this carpet receives a 4.5 on a Hexapod test, which evaluates
appearance retention after simulated foot traffic.
Shaw's performance rating is based on an international test method known as Hexapod.
This procedure evaluates appearance retention of carpet.
The instrument used to test the carpet is composed of a circular rotating drum with
carpet placed on the inside. Also placed inside the drum is an eight-pound steel
ball with six pods. As the drum rotates, the ball falls on the carpet face, simulating
footsteps.
After the standard number of rotations, carpets are then assessed using the Carpet
and Rug Institute (CRI) performance rating scale. The lowest rating of 1 means
"severe change in appearance" and the highest rating of 5 means "no change in
appearance."

FACE WEIGHT
The face weight for this style is 40.00 oz./sq.yd.
Face weight is measured as mass per unit area of pile yarn floor coverings
according to ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials) method D-5848.
Due to several processes involved in manufacturing, such as shearing, the actual
finished weight may reflect a variance of up to 7%. The weight is determined by
compensating for the factor of commercial moisture regain, as defined in ASTM
D-1909. The ASTM measurements are accepted industry norms and the most accurate
means of determining face weight.
