Specialty Products

Shaw specialty products for tile applications offer another level of choice for customers with specific needs around access flooring and static control. For more information about our specialty products, check out the sections below on PosiTile, CompuTile, ESD tile and adhesives.

PosiTile offers easy and quick access to under-floor electric, data and communication wiring, allowing minimum disruption during regular reorganization of commercial workspaces. Each tile features a four-button positioning system affixed to the secondary backing that fits into four matching indentations in the Tate access flooring panel system.

  • PosiTile has been proven to cut reorganization labor costs, when compared to a conventional adhesive installation, by 75 percent. PosiTile can save as much as 10 to 60 percent in carpet material cost, depending on office churn rate, when compared to an 18” x 18” installation.
  • Almost all of Shaw’s carpet tiles can be customized for PosiTile application.
  • Standard PosiTile has the same anti-static properties as our regular Shaw carpet tile, unless customized to be dissipative.
  • PosiTile utilizes EcoWorx recyclable, cradle-to-cradle carpet backing.

CompuTile features a static-dissipative system for use in areas with high-density electronics. It can also be used in any networked office that requires static control surpassing standard kilovolt (kv) rated carpet protection.

Recommended uses for CompuTile include computer server rooms, customer service call centers, bank data centers, computer labs and any networked offices.

We offer three grades of static control carpet tile products.

Grade 1: Standard kilovolt rated tiles designed to suppress static charge as it relates to feet on carpet. All Shaw tile products are Grade 1.

Grade 2: A grounded system that dissipates static from all sources through an integrated fiber, backing and adhesive system. 33 percent of the yarn contains conductive fibers. All CompuTile products are Grade 2.

Grade 3: A grounded system that dissipates static from all sources through an integrated fiber, backing and adhesive system. One hundred percent of the yarn contains conductive fibers. ESD Tile products are Grade 3.

ESD is the ultimate static-conductive tile system and is used in mission critical environments.
