Launching Mercier Heritage New product

Montmagny, Drummondville and Baltimore (Maryland, USA), April 25, 2006

In keeping with its innovative approach of targeting designers, consumers and do-it-yourselfers with its vast choice of hardwood floor colors and finishes and hundreds of possible combinations, MERCIER WOOD FLOORING will be at the NWFA in Baltimore this week to launch its new Heritage products.

Inspired by the most recent trends for textures, Mercier Heritage planks are finished in an uneven patina that reproduce the look of time-worn wood with its visible grains and knots. MERCIER WOOD FLOORING creates a warm and friendly feeling of yesteryear that enhances the atmosphere of any dwelling, in the city or in the country.

With its state-of-the-art protective coating, the MERCIER GENERATIONS layer offers better protection against wood discoloration and yellowing. Due to a powerful antimicrobial agent that inhibits the risk of microbe and mildew growth on the finished surface, the new formula developed by MERCIER also contributes to a cleaner environment.

By attending the largest wood flooring exhibition in America, MERCIER WOOD FLOORING will strengthen its positioning with its network of distributors and retailers who are proud to deliver such high quality products combining innovation and tradition to their customers.
