How to Identify and Source Shaw Discontinued Flooring for Repair and Replacement
If you’ve installed Shaw flooring in your home or business, you know that it combines style with durability. However, what happens when you need to repair or replace a section of your flooring, only to find that it’s been discontinued? In this article, we’ll discuss how to identify your specific Shaw flooring product and provide tips on sourcing discontinued items for repairs or replacements.
Understanding Shaw Discontinued Flooring
Shaw Industries is known for producing a wide variety of flooring options including carpets, hardwoods, laminates, and luxury vinyl tiles. Occasionally, products are discontinued due to changing trends or improvements in technology. Understanding the specifics of your existing Shaw flooring will help you identify the right replacement product when repairs are necessary.
Identifying Your Current Shaw Flooring
To find a suitable repair or replacement for your discontinued Shaw flooring, start by identifying the type of flooring you have. This can usually be done by checking any remaining documentation from the original purchase. Look for product names, style numbers, and color codes on the packaging or in your receipt. If documentation is unavailable, consider taking a sample piece of the flooring to a local retailer who can assist with identification based on texture and finish.
Searching for Discontinued Products
Once you’ve identified your specific type of Shaw flooring, it’s time to search for it online or at local retailers. Check platforms like eBay or Craigslist where individuals sell leftover materials from home projects. Additionally, specialty floor retailers may have remnants available from previous orders. Online forums and community groups dedicated to home improvement can also be good resources as members may have leads on where to find discontinued products.
Contacting Shaw Directly
If you’re having trouble sourcing specific pieces through local retailers or online marketplaces, don’t hesitate to contact Shaw Industries directly. Their customer service team can provide information regarding discontinued products and may direct you towards authorized dealers who might still stock these items—or suggest similar alternatives that could blend well with existing floors.
Consider Professional Help
If all else fails and sourcing replacement material proves challenging despite extensive searching efforts, consider hiring a professional contractor with experience in flooring installations. They often have industry contacts that enable them to locate hard-to-find materials and can offer alternative solutions if matching is impossible—such as refinishing adjacent areas so they blend seamlessly with newer materials.
Finding discontinued furniture like Shaw’s unique ranges may seem daunting at first glance; however by following these steps—identifying current styles accurately while exploring various avenues—you’ll increase your chances significantly. With persistence and some creativity in sourcing solutions tailored specifically towards maintaining consistency across spaces within homes/offices alike.
