shade | tile
It begins with a spark. A flash. A glowing moment
of inspiration that grows and grows until it reaches its full
and luminous potential. Introducing shade, a collection from Shaw Contract Group® with patterns,
tones and hues that enlighten, inspire and ignite. We think
you’ll see carpet tile in a whole new light.

how will shadebrighten the world?
Not only with its form but also by its function. Because not only is Shade lovely to look at,
it’s also completely sustainable. Crafted with Eco Solution Q® nylon on the surface, EcoWorx® tile backing
underneath, Shade is another shining example of the enlightened cradle-to-cradle products created by
Shaw Contract Group.®
With Eco Solution Q nylon and EcoWorx tile backing, carpet materials are used and reused—loop after loop
after loop. Which is why both have earned the prestigious Cradle to Cradle® Certification from McDonough
Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC).
And because a sustainable carpet system is one component on the list of building materials adding to the
design and certification of a LEED building, Shade contributes to a host of other LEED credits. Like Recycled
Content Credit 4.1 and Low Emitting Materials Credit 4.3.
