What does it mean to give a thing pride of place? Pride of place is when we elevate something special to us. That’s the idea behind Shaw Contract rugs, commercial grade, soft flooring that ships quickly and installs without any extra accessories. Available in multiple sizes and shapes, they help create intimacy and acoustic protection. And they draw us to the things that emanate a unique pride of place.

Instant Installation
Installation is as simple as rolling out the rug. No accessories are needed; each of our rugs is designed and manufactured with attached non-skid backing and a serged or hidden edge. And to ensure long-term appearance retention and protection against pilling and fuzzing, we make our rugs from 100% recyclable nylon.
