Shop Anderson Tuftex · Winter Haven, FL

Anderson Tuftex is the premium tier within Shaw's residential portfolio, formed when two heritage brands merged into a single label on January 1, 2018. The combined line draws on more than 70 years of hardwood craftsmanship and 50 years of carpet manufacturing.

Anderson Hardwood Floors started in 1946, founded by L.W. "Andy" Anderson as Standard Plywoods, Inc. The company built its reputation on engineered hardwood construction at a time when most American homes still ran solid plank, an approach that turned out to be the right call for warm, humid markets like Florida where dimensional stability over slab matters. In 1958, Anderson acquired the Modernwoods plant in Clinton, South Carolina, which is still part of the operation.

Tuftex Carpets was founded in 1969 in California by Leo Cook, and became the leading carpet manufacturer in the western United States. Shaw acquired Tuftex in 1998 through its purchase of Queen Carpet, and acquired Anderson Hardwood in 2007. Both brands operated separately within Shaw for years before the 2018 merger.

Today Anderson Tuftex is headquartered in Dalton, Georgia, alongside its parent company Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathaway company. The line includes hardwood flooring, carpet (including the wool Heirloom collection), rugs, and stair products. Notable hardwood styles include Imperial Pecan, Provincial Herringbone, European Ash, Chateau Oak, and Coast to Coast.

The brand is Cradle to Cradle Certified, with carpet adding CRI Green Label Plus and hardwood adding GREENGUARD Gold, meaningful certifications for indoor air quality. Anderson Tuftex also plants a tree with every hardwood order through the Arbor Day Foundation; about 40,000 trees have gone in the ground since the program launched in summer 2023.
