One of the most important components of carpet may be the backing, because that's where so many of the performance characteristics lie. Shaw Hospitality Group has developed a comprehensive portfolio of carpet backing systems, assuring you the highest level of long term appearance and ultimate satisfaction with your carpet specification.
A Breakthrough in Carpet Performance
Unique in its design and array of benefits, SoftBac® Platinum is a patented carpet system co-developed by Shaw Industries and SI Flooring Systems. Using a dual composite construction foundation system, two fabrics of complementing physical properties are intertangled with thousands of barbed needles. This creates an ultra-stable backing system that provides softness and flexibility that translates through to the face.
When Performance Is Critical, Get The Backing With More Face Value.
In specifying carpet for heavy commercial traffic areas, the backing can make a critical difference in the carpet's ability to perform. The ultimate high-performance attached cushion backing system is Shaw Hospitality Group's ClassicBac PC.
For when spills and high foot traffic are a challenge.
Ultraloc® MP has a pre-coat provision which includes a moisture impervious liquid barrier and is engineered for heavy duty traffic installations which receive 1,000 or more concentrated traffics per day. It contains improved tuft bind and increased fiber lock.
Ultraloc MPC includes all the UltraLoc® MP performance attributes as well as an attached cushion for more comfort under foot.
