Flooring for dynamic learning environments

We make a Smarter Impact by asking how floors can help us grow. We provide the foundation for environments that optimize engagement, support teaching and inspire learning.


How Can Flooring Change The Way We Learn?

When students, faculty and administration feel at ease and inspired by their environment, the learning process is positively impacted. Shaw Contract provides the foundation for environments that optimize engagement, support teaching and inspire learning. 


We make it our mission to design products that serve the needs of each learning mind for clean, comfortable, engaging and safe environments where learning minds can grow. With products that serve students, faculty and administration needs, we help lay lasting foundations for dynamic learning and a brighter future.

Moisture Mitigation

North American commercial property owners spend up to 1 billion USD each year on remediation of structures and the replacement of floor coverings as a result of too much moisture in concrete. By addressing potential moisture challenges early on, your floors can last longer and require less maintenance down the road.
