Public Spaces that Serve Australia

We make a Smarter Impact with accessible products that can honour the overall design intent, from focused government workspaces to vibrant library & community centres. 

How Can Flooring Build Community?

The places we come together are the places where communities are formed. The spaces we gather in demand a thoughtful, insightful approach that considers movement, logistics, funding and a broad spectrum of usage.

Shaw Contract provides the product and expertise to design for communities in every kind of public space – libraries, airports, convention centres and government offices. Community by design.

Design has the power to build community by creating communal spaces that draw people together.

The Haven collection draws inspiration from the singular qualities we associate with home comfort.

Dye Lab’s palette draws its inspiration from nature, a colour journey of experiments with natural dyes.

Constructed with nuanced colour and punctuated with realistic imprints, making a strong design statement.

Defined by strength and tempered by texture, Concrete & Composed is constructed with innovative COREtec® XRC technology.

Combining hard surface durability with soft surface aesthetics, reThink woven LVT is a hybrid floor covering with utilitarian purpose and textile appeal.
