Shaw Laminates Achieve Greenguard Certification

What is GREENGUARD Certification?

At Shaw Floors, environmental responsibility is non-negotiable. We are committed to doing the right thing every time by creating products that help keep your home healthy. Since 2009, all of our hardwood and laminate flooring products have met the GREENGUARD Certification criteria. Simply put, GREENGUARD Certification means that a product has met some of the world's highest standards for low chemical emissions. Low chemical emissions mean cleaner air, which equals a happier you.
 
GREENGUARD Certifications contribute to points toward numerous green building rating systems, including LEED. To maintain Certification, products are retested on an ongoing basis.
 
We are proud of our GREENGUARD Certifications because it demonstrates our dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship. To learn more about our sustainability goals for the years to come, visit our site: Shaw Green Edge.
