Design is the answer

At Shaw Contract Group Australia we believe that design permeates everything we do – from conception to production to installation – to ensure we create the flooring solutions that you need.

Design is the answer that sets us – and your projects – apart.

A wholly owned subsidiary of Shaw Industries Inc, the world’s largest carpet manufacturer, Shaw Contract Group Australia leverages the resources and flooring expertise of its parent company.

Our design teams work collaboratively in studios that are focused on individual market sectors, bringing you products designed with specific installations and uses in mind.

We design specific solutions for healthcare, education, commercial office, hospitality, retail and cultural markets. Shaw's network of sales consultants have special knowledge and expertise in each segment. The way we design, make and use things has a quantifiable effect on everything we do. Shaw Contract Group carpet can help you design and build environmentally intelligent spaces.

Sustainable materials such as EcoWorx^® backings and Eco Solution Q^® nylon allow us to create beautiful carpet that can be recycled into more carpet again and again.

Shaw’s commitment to environmental solutions has seen the business win the Presidential Green Chemistry Award by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Shaw Contract Group is also encouraging better design with its sponsorship of the annual Design Is… Awards.

Award winning firms choose a design school or deserving organisation to receive a monetary donation from Shaw Contract Group as part of their recognition package.

In recent years substantial amounts have been donated to promote design education in schools in USA, Canada, Europe and Australia.
