Fun News from Wilsonart

We got a fun email from the good folks at Wilsonart that we want to share:

“Dear Starnet team,

We hope you might enjoy reading the latest issue of Wilsonart Flooring’s July Laminate Flooring Journal. It’s a patriotically-themed tribute to this made-in-America company’s latest projects:

“To Honor and Empower Wounded Warriors”: Learn more about Wilsonart Flooring’s latest installation at a new facility from The Wounded Warrior Project called TRACK, to help injured soldiers returning from Afghanistan and Iraq heal in mind, body and spirit. It’s an incredible story about an organization with an audacious vision: fostering the most successful and well-adjusted generation of returning wounded servicemen in our nation’s history.

Synergy dealers now can merchandise new contract designs in the Professional Studio at retail. The collection is inspired by urban and global influences. It’s a voluntary update for dealers to offer fashion-forward business owners and consumers the most durable, eco-friendly solutions.

“Urban Concept”: A residential development in Sacramento, Calif., features open-format lofts that reflect the environmental trend of “less is more” consumers who desire less square footage, but a premium space nonetheless, along with quality, simplicity and easy maintenance. Leave it to Wilsonart Flooring’s American Oak/Walnut to enliven the aesthetics yet perform for these demanding, progressive residents.

The entire [pdf] issue is here.

We also hope you’ll consider subscribing to our RSS feeds from the short-format LFJ Skinny – a roundup of Wilsonart Flooring news from the pen of the company’s down-home “mascot”, Templeton the Armadillo. Like our flooring, he’s tough but with lots of personality.

Cheers,

Susan Bang”

Thanks, and cheers to Templeton the Armadillo!
