Flooring for dynamic learning environments in New Zealand

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

How Can Flooring Change The Way We Learn in New Zealand?

When students, educators and administration feel at ease and inspired by their environment, the learning process is positively impacted. Shaw Contract provides the foundation for environments that optimise 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, staff and administration needs, we help lay lasting foundations for dynamic learning and a brighter future.
