DALTON, Ga. (PRWEB) June 07, 2021 - The Residential Division of Shaw Industries Group, Inc. (Shaw) has expanded its Made Smarter. Live Better. program to help tap into the growing consumer interest in healthy home products within the built environment. In alignment with National Healthy Home month in June, the company has launched a series of videos, tear sheets, one-pagers and social content, to foster meaningful conversations with consumers about Shaws sustainable solutions.

We spend 90 percent of our time indoors -- even before COVID-19. So, its no wonder that the spaces where we live, work, learn and play have a significant impact on our wellbeing, notes Nina LoCicero, vice president of residential marketing and digital commerce for Shaw Residential. Shaw designs products with both the planet and the human experience in mind. The pandemic has elevated our awareness of how the space were in makes us feel and the materials used in our environments -- what theyre made of and, in the midst of heightened virus awareness, the importance of safe and effective cleaning habits.

The Made Smarter. Live Better. program was developed to help explain how Shaws flooring products can address consumer desires to live or work in a space that supports their wellbeing. Made Smarter. Live Better., as a comprehensive approach, focuses on five pillars: Material, Moisture, Sound, Air and Clean -- all underscored by a keen focus on design. Through careful evaluation of these pillars and intentional collaboration between Shaws Sustainability and Residential Product and Marketing teams, the companys Residential brands now offer detailed information to meet consumer needs and offer products that best align with their priorities.
