From an array of durable laminates and hardwood floors, to a huge selection of carpet and ceramic tile, Shaw Floors truly
is where great floors begin.
Shaw Floors has a history of successful innovative flooring designs. This includes everything from Shaw’s exclusive R2X
soil and stain protection used on Shaw carpets, to their patented VersaLock®AG™ and LocNPlace® glue-less laminate
installation systems.
Shaw Industries is also known for their many green flooring initiatives. For example, at the Shaw Evergreen carpet
recycling center in Augusta, GA, they are now recycling nylon 6 in a closed-loop recycling system. This means that at the
end of the carpet’s useful life it can be recycled back into nylon which can be reused to make new carpet without affecting
the nylon’s quality or aesthetics.
Shaw Floors also has a Waste-to-Energy (WTE) facility that is dedicated to reducing fuel use as well as electricity use.
One of the ways that Shaw’s waste-to-energy facility does this is by using a process called gasification to convert wood and
carpet waste into steam energy.
Shaw manufactures several lines of eco-friendly green carpet such as the fully recyclable Shaw EcoWorx® carpet tile, as
well as Anso® Nylon and Eco Solution Q® carpet fibers made from recycled content. In addition, Shaw manufactures green
hardwood and laminate. Shaw’s Epic Hardwood and Shaw’s Laminate, for example, have the EnviroCore made of wood by-products
that would’ve otherwise been sent to a landfill or burned. Shaw also recently acquired Anderson Hardwood Floors which offers
the Grand Canyon Collection made of 100% wood by-products.
