Cool Ceramics

Experience the cool beauty of Shaw ceramics. A perfect choice for kitchens, bathrooms and entryways, ceramic tile is durable and practical. From textured and rustic to smooth and contemporary, ceramic tiles allow for countless design possibilities to help keep your floors from being anything but boring. And with Shaw, you'll always have plenty to choose from.

Shaw offers an extensive array of ceramic and porcelain tiles along with more than 100 decorative accents. Choose a natural stone accent like tumbled marble or travertine, which offers the look of real stone. And once you've picked your tiles, you can choose from over 30 types of grout to firmly seal your new masterpiece.

Ceramic vs. Porcelain—what's the difference? It's simple. Porcelain is a type of ceramic formed from finer clay and mineral. This creates a denser tile that is fired at higher temperatures, which helps make porcelain more water-resistant. Both ceramic and porcelain have many natural qualities that make them a great flooring choice for busy, active families. Tile from Shaw ceramics is resistant to stains, odors, bacteria, and scratches. It is also naturally hygienic, easy to clean, and always beautiful.

High-traffic Hardwood

Add warm elegance and natural charm to any room of your home with a Shaw hardwood floor. Get lasting appeal and the foundation for a number of fashionable looks. Shaw hardwood floors stand the test of time with DuraShield and are a snap to install with VersaLock^®. DuraShield is an aluminum-oxide finish, which keeps your hardwood free from marks and looking new. VersaLock is a patented locking system that speeds up installation and eliminates the need for glue or nails. And Shaw's exclusive SilentStep underlayment not only provides comfort and stability, but also absorbs noise and acts as a mildew and moisture inhibitor.

When choosing your hardwood floor, it's important to consider the grain and construction of the wood. Naturally present in hardwood, grain variations help determine a wood's style. Dramatic grain variations will produce a rustic style, while moderate grain variations are present in traditional woods. For a sleek, contemporary look, choose a select hardwood with very little color variation. Solid or engineered, the construction of your hardwood can help determine where your floors should be placed. Solid is created from a single piece of wood, making a beautiful floor that lasts for years. Engineered is made from several layers of wood and is designed to withstand higher levels of humidity so it can be placed in different areas of the home.

Low-maintenance Laminate

Show-off classic styles and the latest technology with durable laminate flooring. Easy installation and carefree maintenance make it a smart choice for busy families. With today's laminate closely resembling hardwood, it's sometimes hard to tell the difference. Shaw's Touchable Texture laminates offer beveled, distressed and highly textured options to give your laminate floor the look and feel of true hardwood—wood grain and all. Use texture to add a distinguishing touch to your home or choose a distressed look to provide affordable beauty.

Global Green

With Shaw's line of environmentally-conscious flooring, it's easy to be fashionable and responsible. Shaw's many innovations and ideas are known as their Green Edge Initiative^™. This initiative showcases Shaw's commitment to investing in long-term solutions through their products and processes.

For example, Epic Hardwood Flooring features EnviroCore^™, a high-density fiber core derived from recycled wood fiber, which means fewer trees are used with less waste. And the use of Anso^® nylon, a fiber that can be recycled numerous times, makes Shaw carpets durable and gorgeous—without affecting the quality. Because with Shaw products, green is more than just a color—it's an attitude.
