Rapid Select Offers Choice, Speed of Delivery and Cradle to Cradle™ Certification

Rapid Select, from Shaw Contract, has launched. The ideal flooring choice for quick turnaround projects without compromising on quality, performance or design, Rapid Select has been developed specifically by Shaw Contract for the UK and European commercial interiors markets and is made in the UK.

Responsive to today’s market demands, Rapid Select also comes with a new service delivery option* for the UK and Europe and is the first Cradle to Cradle™ certified carpet tile manufactured in the UK.

Andrew Jackson, Marketing Director EMEA at Shaw Contract, says:

“Rapid Select has been introduced to meet the needs of commercial interior companies in the UK and Europe. Working with our customers we know that there is market demand for a functional but well-designed product at a cost-effective price. We also know that contractors are working on tight project timescales, so our new quick delivery option has been introduced to meet that need.”

David Smith, Divisional Vice President EMEA at Shaw Contract says:

“In any interior fit-out the floor finish can be critical to the overall success of the project and it is important that the option chosen is fit for purpose. Increasingly in commercial projects flooring also needs to be delivered in tight timescales. Rapid Select provides for flexibility, practicality and durability, so projects can be completed to the highest standard using a cost-efficient, quality flooring solution.”

Offering a choice of specially edited, influential carpet tile styles and colours, Rapid Select features specially edited and influential styles and colours that meet the needs of modern, functional commercial interiors.

Choice of shape, colour and style

With two carpet tile shapes and three styles there are plenty of options with Rapid Select to create an individual look, whatever the floor space or area. Rapid Select provides the designer with the ability to easily mix styles, colours and shapes to define commercial spaces and achieve an original design.

Rapid Select offers three contemporary carpet tile styles:

• Nook is an eye-catching off-set square design, with high and low textured pattern effects, and provides an option to create both interest and a flooring feature. Available in eight colours, 50cm x 50cm.
• Roam offers soft organic movement that mimics a natural texture often found in nature. The elongated plank tile format allows designers the flexibility to create unique floor layout designs. Available in six colours, 25cm x 100cm.
• Graph features a network of lines that overall create a small scale pattern, and takes its inspiration from the linear patterning of graph paper. Available in eight colours, 50cm x 50cm.

Rapid Select is available with Shaw Contract’s new TaskWorx® backing. Maintaining Shaw Contract’s commitment to sustainability, Taskworx is Cradle to Cradle Certified™ Bronze. It is suitable for high-traffic areas and withstands heavy wear without deterioration.

Made in the UK, Rapid Select carpet tiles are manufactured using Shaw’s EcoSolution Q™ nylon fibre. EcoSolution Q™ is engineered for cleanability, elastic recovery, resilience and strength.
