Shaw Floors Carpet: Elevating Comfort & Durability in Western Canadian Homes

At Jordans Flooring, we have a long memory. Since our doors first opened in 1929, we’ve seen the evolution of the Canadian home—from the formal parlours of the post-war era to the open-concept, high-traffic family hubs of today. While our roots are firmly planted in the artistry of hand-knotted rugs, we’ve spent decades as a leader in broadloom, being the first to bring it to Canada.

When it comes to modern carpeting that meets our rigorous standards for quality and resilience, Shaw Floors is a name that stands above the rest.

Whether you’re looking to warm up a basement in Edmonton or add a touch of luxury to a bedroom in Victoria, Shaw provides the perfect blend of innovation and style for our unique Western Canadian lifestyle.

Why Shaw Floors? The Science of Softness and Strength

Shaw Floors doesn’t just make carpet; they engineer solutions for “real life.” In the Lower Mainland and across Alberta, our homes face specific challenges: dampness, tracking in mud or snow, and the wear and tear of active families and pets.

Shaw has addressed these head-on with industry-leading technologies.

Anso® High-Performance Fiber

Most of Shaw’s premium carpets are crafted from Anso® Nylon, a fiber that has set the industry standard for over 50 years.

It’s remarkably soft underfoot—ideal for those cold Calgary mornings—but it’s also incredibly tough. Anso nylon is designed to resist crushing and matting, ensuring your stairs and hallways stay plush and beautiful even after years of foot traffic.

R2X® Stain and Soil Resistance

We’ve all been there: a glass of red wine tipped over on Friday night or a muddy dog running through the living room after a walk in Stanley Park.

Shaw’s R2X® technology is a total-fiber protectant.

Unlike traditional treatments that only coat the surface, R2X is chemically bonded to the fiber. It repels liquids and soils, giving you more time to clean up spills before they become permanent stains.

The “Pet Perfect” Solution: Built for Our Furry Neighbors

Western Canadians love their pets, and at Jordans, “pet-friendly” is one of our most requested features. Shaw’s Pet Perfect® and Pet Perfect+ collections are specifically designed for homes with four-legged family members.

• Bleach Resistance: Many Pet Perfect styles are high-performance PET or nylon that can handle localized cleaning with a bleach-and-water solution without losing color.
• LifeGuard® Spill-Proof Technology: This is the “gold standard” for peace of mind. Carpets with LifeGuard backing feature a moisture-proof barrier. If an accident happens, the liquid stays on the surface or in the carpet fibers rather than soaking into the pad and subfloor, where odors can linger. It’s a literal lifesaver for homes in humid coastal climates like Nanaimo or Richmond.

2026 Trends: The Return of Warmth and Texture

For the past few years, cool greys dominated the interior design scene from Vancouver to Kelowna.

However, heading into 2026, we are seeing a distinct shift. Shaw’s latest ColorWall® introductions reflect a move toward “warm neutrals”—think soft taupes, sandy beiges, and earthy terracottas.

Texture and Pattern

We’re also seeing a surge in popularity for patterned loops and textured cut-piles. Styles like Classic Tone or Crafted Tone add a sophisticated layer of visual interest to a room without overpowering it. These textures are excellent at hiding vacuum marks and footprints, making them a practical choice for large family rooms in Red Deer or suburban Surrey.
