As Shaw Contract launches its latest carpet tile collection this month, made in the UK, the manufacturer is looking forward to the future as the UK emerges from lockdown.
Shaw Contract purchased a manufacturing facility in Scotland in February 2018 and has seen, post Brexit, demand for its products continue to grow as specifiers look to source ‘locally’.
A key part of the service solution it has implemented to meet demand is an In Stock programme which includes carpet tiles, loose lay LVT and rigid core LVT. Shaw Contract’s LVT options as part of In Stock are available in the UK, along with a specially edited range of carpet tile collections available, made in Scotland.
This combination of hard and soft flooring solutions is growing as designers working in commercial fit-out projects look to zone open-plan spaces. Meeting the need to introduce spaces for quieter working and collaboration, carpet tiles offer occupant and acoustic comfort while for break areas or corridors through a space, LVT will be specified. In the multi-family segment this hard/soft combination is also proving popular.
The company is also celebrating the introduction of two new styles for its Living Systems collection. Both 25 x 100 cm, Source provides a multi-directional abstract texture with a wide palette of neutrals & natural colours. Meanwhile, style Boundless offers an organic free flowing visual with a wide palette of neutrals and natural colours.
A versatile toolkit for all market segments - workplace, education, multi-family, hospitality, the Living Systems collection provides a range in colour, scale and intensity. In total a selection of nine styles are now available, and which work together as striking flooring solution that references the infinite variation and irregularity found in nature.
With a colour palette that ranges from neutrals to vivid colours, and Cradle to Cradle Certified Bronze, the Living Systems collection is a go-to solution for wayfinding, zoning, branding and to create large-scale impact in any commercial interior.
