HARDWOOD COLLECTION STILL AT TOP OF SHAW PRODUCTS
Shaw, one of the largest hardwood flooring manufacturers in the world in terms of revenue and production—as well as physical presence around the globe—is still producing its renowned Pebble Hill Hickory collection, as it remains one of the most popular hardwood flooring products on the market. Produced for several years, it has not fallen prey to the dreaded discontinued list, as many products do when style trends change or a product simply doesn’t generate enough revenue to justify its continued production.
Shaw Pebble Hill, however, is the most popular hardwood flooring material in the United States, and this is a result of its classic yet contemporary timeless appeal.
Equipped with a hand-scraped surface, it isn’t any wonder why this particular collection can find a home in various décor styles. Hand-scraped hardwood is especially popular among those who desire a rustic ambiance, as well as contemporary designers who want to add a subtle classic edge to their projects.
Pebble Hill Hickory: Burnt Barnboard
From our end here at Qualityflooring4less.com, the Shaw Pebble Hill collection has remained the highest selling product in our inventory, and many of our colleagues as well as competitors have said the same thing. From a design perspective, you get a lot of flexibility with a 5” wide plank in terms of what kinds of rooms it can be installed in and still look visually pleasing. While narrow planks generally work better in smaller rooms, the intermediate 5” planks look nice in both large and small rooms. For those designers and homeowners who are a little more particular, the Pebble Hill collection also comes in 3 ¼” planks, although this size is not nearly as popular. The trends have been leaning toward wider planks, so it may be possible that Shaw will come out with wider planks on the Pebble Hill collection sometime in the near future.
For now, the Pebble Hill collection still remains the most popular, with only six colors available. It may very well be that its extended popularity lies with its simplicity. It’s good to have options, but do consumers really want to spend hours wading through hundreds of different color variations? The popularity of this Shaw collection would generally have the opinion that they do not.
In addition to Pebble Hill’s aesthetic qualities, its construction exceeds customers’ expectations in terms of performance. Its engineered composition enables it to be used with radiant floor heating systems, and its Scufresist Platinum finish prevents the planks from succumbing to premature damage from dents, scratches, sunlight, and normal wear.
If contractors, designers, and homeowners alike are raving about Shaw Pebble Hill Hickory, it’s definitely worth checking out before you decide on your next flooring project. Also, be sure to check out the solid Pebble Hill II collection, as it expands on this original finely crafted American hardwood floor. Questions? Do call us at 510-698-5142. We’re happy to help!
