Shaw Carpet. Where Great Floors Begin.
Breathe Easier with Carpet |
 |
Despite common misconceptions, carpet may have no effect on your allergies. In fact, studies show carpeted rooms actually have lower levels of dust-borne allergens than rooms with hard surface floors.
Carpet is capable of holding significant quantities of soil, dust, etc., without appearing very dirty. It has been demonstrated that carpet is quite efficient at keeping allergen and other small particles such as pollen out of the air. In fact, data from a Swedish government study indicates that when use of carpet declined, the number of people reporting allergy problems increased. |
Carpet Saves Energy |
 |
Looking for something environmentally friendly? Check out EverStrand™, a carpet fiber that's made from recycled plastic bottles. The warm comfort that carpet provides is not just your imagination. Unlike other types of flooring, carpet is a natural insulator, providing additional warmth in cold seasons.
The use of carpet in a wall-to-wall application actually increases the R-value, or insulation level, of the carpet area, potentially saving homeowners like you utility costs while reducing energy use. The R-value (thermal resistance) measures how much a material resists the movement of heat through a ceiling, wall, or floor in a building. The higher the number, the more effective the insulation. |
R2X: A Carpet Protective System |
 |
R2X is the industry's most innovative carpet stain and soil repelling system and the product of years of research and testing. Shaw's patented and exclusive R2X system goes beyond conventional repellents that only protect the surface of the carpet. With R2X, carpets are armed with total fiber coverage, offering complete protection from the top to the bottom of the yarn. This total fiber coverage offers unprecedented protection against household spills and everyday soiling. With R2X, spills that reach the base of the yarn don't penetrate and wick back to the top as they do with conventional solutions. |
Soft Backing. Firm benefits. |
 |
Shaw's flexible carpet backing system offers a host of benefits over traditional backings. More than 750 million square yards of the innovation have been installed with no backing-related consumer complaints. One industry observer wrote of SoftBac, "...on occasion, product introductions wind up doing more than we all expect."
SoftBac isn't just a consumer favorite, it's also the installer's choice. The fleecy texture virtually eliminates scuffing and scratching on your walls and baseboards during installation. And its unique flexibility reduces the risk of damaging other interior finishes. |
All Shaw carpet and carpet cushion products have been thoroughly tested by an independent, certified laboratory and meet stringent criteria for low chemical emissions. As a result, they have earned the Carpet and Rug Institute's Green Label Plus certification.
Shaw's success is based on their core values of honesty, integrity, and hard work. From these values, they have embraced a set of principles that they believe in and use to govern their behavior.
