Wicanders' Cork Flooring featured on Disaster DIY - Kitchen Impossible on the DIY Network
Toronto, October 1, 2013 – SHNIER, Canada's leading National Floor Covering Solutions Company, is proud to announce that Wicanders® Cork flooring was featured in a recent episode of Disaster DIY – Kitchen Impossible. Disaster DIY is a show about ‘do-it-yourselfers’ who have not been successful with their own home renovations and are in desperate need of some on-the-job training. Host and contractor Bryan Baeumler arrives to save families from renovation disasters and teach ‘DIYers’ the safe and proper way to fix their mistakes. Wicanders® Cork Flooring was featured as the ideal floor covering choice for this kitchen renovation, noting that the product is environmentally friendly, warm to the touch and provides excellent underfoot comfort.
“We were very excited to find out that Wicanders® Cork Flooring was used in this episode, especially given that it was used in a kitchen” says Steve Caldow, Product Manager Cork & Laminate, SHNIER. “We feel that this prime time television exposure for the product will spark intrigue from consumers who are in the market for a flooring product that fulfills the need for modern, fashion-forward design, combined with unsurpassed wear performance and environmentally sustainable properties. We believe that this will help educate consumers that cork is a great flooring option, especially in kitchens, since that’s the room you’re standing in the most!”
