New Wear-Dated® Products Bring Stylish Options for the Casual Lifestyle
KENNESAW, Ga.--Sept. 28, 2006—Wear-Dated® is pleased to report that two additional products introduced at the Surfaces 2006 expo are resonating with both retailers and consumers. Currydale and Pleasant Brook, from Gulistan, offer residential retailers stylish options to meet the casual lifestyle needs of today's consumer. Both are produced with 100 percent premium nylon 6,6 Wear-Dated DuraSoft carpet fiber for unparalleled softness and durability combined with style.
"Gulistan's use of Wear-Dated DuraSoft premium nylon 6,6 fiber in these two new products provides the retailer with two outstanding offerings that suit the consumer's desire for a certain up to date look, with the softness suitable for her family's comfort," said Marianne Cone, director of marketing for Solutia.
Pleasant Brook and Currydale are ideal products for those who want carpets that complement a desire for a casual, practical lifestyle. Consumers want products that are not only easy to care for but help make their home environments stress free. The two styles share a common color line which gives customers design flexibility. The 30 colors range from natural earth tones inspired by sandy beaches and wide prairies to rich mineral hues. Currydale is the perfect complement to Pleasant Brook.
· Pleasant Brook -- a textured, tailored, high-low loop pile style
· Currydale -- a heavy, dense, casual shag-frieze
Gulistan, based in North Carolina, is a premium manufacturer of fine medium- to high-end carpets. "We place tremendous value on our relationship with Gulistan, and we look forward to collaborating on more well-designed products in the coming months," said Cone.
