What Shaw Contract makes
Shaw Contract focuses on commercial carpet. Its modular tile ranges offer calm textures, bold patterns and many colours, and it also offers broadloom.
Designers like the way tiles can be mixed. A plain field with a feature border, or a pattern that runs across zones, helps show where one area ends and another begins.
Where it suits
Carpet tile suits open offices, meeting rooms, hotel corridors and training rooms. It softens sound and feels warm underfoot.
Because each tile is separate, a stained or worn piece can be swapped without lifting the whole floor.
How the floor is specified and laid
We check that the slab is flat, dry and clean. Then we set out from the centre of the room so cuts at the walls are even.
Tiles can be laid in a straight grid, in quarter turns or in a brick pattern. The pattern changes how the floor looks, so we agree it with you first.
Tiles are fixed with a suitable adhesive or tackifier, and the arrows on the back keep the direction correct.
What to ask
Ask these before you sign off a range.
- What backing does the tile use, and how is it recycled at end of life?
- How many spare tiles should we keep?
- What pattern of laying suits the design?
Shaw Contract carpet tile
Carpet tile is laid as separate squares, which means one damaged tile can be changed without touching the rest.
We lay Shaw Contract carpet tile for commercial buildings.
Questions
Can I mix colours in one room?
Yes. Many designers do this to mark zones or paths. We lay out the plan with you before work starts.
Is carpet tile loud to walk on?
No. Carpet tile is softer on sound than hard floors, which helps in open offices.
Do you also supply broadloom?
We can supply and lay broadloom where the design or room shape suits it better than tile.
