Auxiliary
Inspired by the transitions in nature
As the ocean tides ebb and flow, as the colour palette of the natural world changes through seasons, we experience subtle transitions all around us every day.
In today’s interior spaces we look for this sense of gradual change and shift. As we move between functions and activities in the workspace, we desire a sense of synergy and cohesion.
With three styles Complement, Detail and Feature, combining effortlessly together, you can introduce colour and subtle patterns to achieve unique and stylish flooring designs.

LRV & L*: Light Reflectance Values
LRV is a measurement that indicates how much light a surface reflects and how much it absorbs. Understanding the Light Reflectance Values of surfaces enables interior lighting levels to be optimised and colours to be contrasted. Designers can use the L* value for determining lighting levels or the LRV (Y) value to compare the carpet tile colours to edgings and other surface finishes. Other style LRVs can be found on the Shaw Contract website.
