Shaw Contract believes that the air we breathe should be clean. All of our products are 3rd party certified to ensure our products are low VOC, meeting or exceeding industry standards for indoor emissions.

Because everyone deserves to breathe clean air, Shaw Contract offers entryway Walk-off products for use in all public entry spaces to minimize or prevent harmful contaminant particulates that could be tracked indoors.

Because we are keenly committed to using safe ingredients and ensuring the safety of our products with the people who come into contact with them, our products are made asbestos-free and contain no lead > 100 ppm.

The spaces where we live, work, play, learn and heal have a huge impact on our lives. That’s why we’re committed to using safe ingredients and designing sustainable flooring products. Through our rigorous hazard screening and risk assessment processes for ingredients in addition to the Cradle to Cradle Certified ™ product certification program, we ensure that our products do not contain toxic materials.

All Shaw Contract Cradle to Cradle Certified ™ Products are verified to be free of many suspected hazards that WELL buildings seek to avoid.

Flooring design enhances the occupant experience of community, dignity, comfort, wellbeing, and safety. We strive to gain a deeper personal understanding of human experience and response to color, texture and the myriad aspects of design. Our designers collaborate, conduct in-depth research, immerse in regional cultures and historical study-all of which inspires our product design.

Shaw Contract recognizes the numerous benefits exposure to the outdoors has on our wellbeing, many are bringing the outside in, at work and at home. Biophilic design or put more simply: bringing nature in is a concept used by our designers to increase product design connectivity to the natural environment.
