Carpet Fibers

SmartStrand: “SmartStrand TM with DuPont TM Sorona ® polymer represents a breakthrough in fiber technology brought to you exclusively by Mohawk Industries and DuPont. Together, we have produced a new type of fiber that combines exceptional durability with permanent protection from stains. . . Carpets featuring SmartStrand TM with DuPont TM Sorona ® polymer certainly are practical and easy to clean, and they are also inherently soft and durable as well. This advanced fiber technology provides a natural softness that is proven to perform exceptionally well in wear and durability tests.”

Nylon: The most frequently used carpet fiber, highly desirable due to its exceptional durability, versatility, and reasonable pricing. It can be dyed in an endless variety of colors and made into numerous styles and textures.

Polyester: Used in residential and a few commercial applications, polyester has good color clarity, colorfastness, and resistance to water-soluble stains. All of Mohawk's staple polyester yarn comes from our state-of-the-art plastic bottle recycling facility. This "food-grade" PET Polyester fiber might be considered to be better quality than "carpet-grade" polyester fiber.

Polypropylene: Also known as Olefin, this fiber resists fading, generates low levels of static electricity, is favorably priced, and can be engineered in outdoor applications. Due to its manufacturing process, polypropylene inherently resists stains. When used in specific carpet constructions, this yarn will perform as well as most resilient fibers.

Wool: The most expensive of the fibers listed here, it is a natural fiber with moderate soil and stain resistance. Durable, luxurious "hand", reduced visible soil due to fine, light-scattering characteristics.

Resilient floors for the way you live
Variety, performance, easy maintenance, affordable. Of all hard surface floors, resilient offers the greatest variety of choices from natural stone to ceramic tiles, from wood grain to geometrics. Resilient floors perform beautifully for years, withstanding heavy family traffic, resisting stains and never need waxing.

Hardwood
Whether it is engineered or solid, the natural beauty of hardwood brings warmth and style to any room. Available in many species such as Oak, Cherry, Hickory, Maple, Walnut and exotics such as Teak and Bamboo, each species is unique in color, grain and finish. With the many widths to choose from, you can express your own style.

Laminates
Laminates provide nature’s ambiance of wood, stone and ceramic tile. They are easy to install, clean and maintain, leaving more time for the things you really want to do!
