Carpets N More

New carpet is a great way to transform your home; however, most homeowners are aware that life’s unexpected accidents are carpet’s enemy. When a beverage is spilled, or an animal urinates on your carpet, it soaks through and gets absorbed into the pad. This is how odors can be trapped in your home even after cleaning the carpet thoroughly because the origin of the smell is deep within the pad. Some companies provide Spillguard padding or water-resistant padding to help prevent this issue, but Shaw has gone a step further and has a solution to stop this issue at the source. Shaw’s Lifeguard Waterproof Carpets have an engineering backing the prevents the spills or messes from getting through the first layer and into the pad. This means the liquid is stopped at the source and not absorbed into your pad or subfloor to hold those dreaded odors.

Stress-Free Home 

How many times have you heard people, who have had new carpet installed in their living rooms, make the “new house rule” meaning no animals, no children, no beverages, no shoes, etc.? With Shaw’s Lifeguard Carpet, you can have a stress-free environment, knowing your new carpet is safe from spills and accidents. Transform your home into a more comfortable, inviting room for your family and friends, not with the underlying fear of messes. 

Spill-Proof 

The science of lifeguard’s spill-proof backing is not where this engineering stops. Shaw has incorporated in their R2X protection, which allows spills and stains to stay on the surface of the carpet longer than normal carpets. This means you have time before it will get to the waterproof backing. Shaw’s Lifeguard carpet has also been put through one of the most challenging waterproof tests. They installed Lifeguard Carpet at the bottom of a pool to withstand against 25,000 pounds of water. Shaw loves going above and beyond to let their customers rest assure that their bold claims are true.
