Kathy Ireland tells Bob about her Shades of America carpet collection. With a more focused color selection and more descriptive color names, Shades of America makes it easier for busy moms to decorate and choose colors. The carpet fiber is 100% nylon and it comes in four styles - essential plush, essential platinum, essential gold and essential silver - which refer to the density of the carpet. The SoftBac Platinum backing is much softer and more pliable and gives the carpet a wonderful foundation. Another feature of the carpet is that it has R2X, a stain and soil resistant treatment developed by Shaw carpets. Next Jim and Kathy meet up with installer Jim Walker. Jim informs Bob this carpet is one of the most installer-friendly products on the market. It has great dimensional stability. The SoftBac grabs the tack strip and holds it very firmly.
