You get bring-it-on durability and show-stopping looks. A killer combination.

Now for specifics. The advantages of a Shaw hard-surface floor are so numerous, it's hard to name them all! But we'll try...

ScufResist? PLATINUM.

Shaw's patented finish resists household scuffing and keeps your floor looking better longer. Extremely wear-resistant, the finish is UV-cured polyurethane with aluminum oxide. Products with ScufResist PLATINUM offers up to a Limited Lifetime Wear Warranty that says, "Go ahead and live on your Shaw hardwood floors."

Epic? hardwood

With Epic, Shaw has introduced a breakthrough in flooring: a superior engineered hardwood that is environmentally friendly as well.

EnviroCore?

This is Epic's extremely tough, strong inner core made of recycled wood byproducts for less waste. It makes Epic harder, denser, and greener than comparable solid hardwood flooring and engineered hardwood flooring with softer plywood cores.

Waste reduction through recycling. 99% of EnviroCore's packaging material is diverted from the landfill by being reusable or recyclable. A substantial amount of this packaging also has post-consumer recycled content.

GREENGUARD? Children & Schools certified. Shaw hardwoods meet or exceed GREENGUARD's stringent requirements for low chemical emissions. Shaw is the first flooring manufacturer to earn GREENGUARD certification on its hardwood and laminate products.

     
       

Laminate

Preservation of resources. Engineered to last, Shaw laminate offers a long life span that minimizes replacement. And while it simulates the upscale look of a natural product like exotic hardwood or ceramic tile, the actual material isn't used and the natural resource is preserved. In fact, Shaw laminates use 98% less newly harvested wood than conventional engineered hardwood products.

Made in America. All Shaw laminate manufacturing plants are in the United States.

LuminiereThis is our collection of high-gloss, smooth-surface laminates protected by OptiGuard?. Fine Luminiere laminates offer superior visual clarity and scratch resistance.

OptiGuard? Forgiving and very resilient, this high-gloss laminate finish resists scratches and dramatically increases realism and beauty.

OptiCore? Used in all Shaw laminate products, this environmentally responsible core board is strong, stable, and moisture resistant, ensuring lasting quality.

GREENGUARD Children & Schools certified. Shaw laminates meet or exceed GREENGUARD's stringent requirements for low chemical emissions. Shaw is the first flooring manufacturer to earn GREENGUARD certification on its hardwood and laminate products.

       

DO IT YOURSELF
Invest in Your Home

If your carpet needs replaced, don't offer buyers an allowance. Do it yourself before you show the property. You'll reap the rewards in selling price and in fewer days on the market.

COLOR CUES
More Than Color

Have a color in mind? Pair it with different types of construction to see the effect. The luster and softness of the fiber affects the look of the color. Get a luxurious, suede look with really soft fibers, or a more dimensional color and casual look with longer, textured yarns.
