Lees Carpets Brings Balance to Contract Interiors with Now and Zen Collection

MARIETTA, Ga., March 1, 2009 — Drawing inspiration from meditation, Lees Carpets — a brand of The Mohawk Group — is helping contract interiors embrace their "chi" with Now and Zen. The subtle yet expressive contemporary carpet collection offers three symmetric patterns — Centered, Realization and Wisdom — each available in modular and broadloom styles and a palette of 12 tranquil tones. Designed to promote health and wellness, Now and Zen promises to bring a touch of peace and quiet to a variety of spaces.

Offering Lees' proven combination of versatility, style and performance, Now and Zen also features the company's advanced technologies, including Duracolor®. A stain-resistant dye technology integrated into the carpet fiber — rather than applied topically — Lees' Duracolor provides permanent stain and fade resistance with total color and style flexibility. Duracolor will not wash or wear off after repeated cleanings or heavy traffic, allows 99 percent of common stains to be cleaned with just water and mild detergent, and eliminates the need for harsh chemicals.

Continuing The Mohawk Group's longstanding dedication to sustainability, the Now and Zen Collection is CRI Green Label Plus certified and its recommended adhesives meet the most stringent rules for VOC emissions. With superior strength against delamination and edge ravel, the durability of Now and Zen products ensures the carpet stays in use and out of the recycling stream longer. Yet, when they reach the end of their useful life, Now and Zen products can be reclaimed and recycled through the company's ReCover program. The Now and Zen Collection is covered by a lifetime warranty.
