Carpet

Elite Flooring partners with Mohawk for their luxury and quality carpets. They offer a wide range of carpet styles and colors, from traditional to contemporary. Mohawk carpets are made from high-quality materials, such as nylon, polyester, and triexta, which are known for their durability, stain-resistance, and softness.

One of the main advantages of Mohawk carpet is its SmartStrand technology, which is a unique fiber that resists stains and soil. This technology uses a proprietary polymer that locks in the color of the carpet fibers, making it resistant to fading and discoloration over time. SmartStrand is also easy to clean, as spills can be removed with just water and mild detergent.

Mohawk carpet also offers a wide range of eco-friendly options, including carpets made from recycled materials and carpets that are certified by third-party organizations for their sustainability. Mohawk is committed to reducing its environmental impact and uses renewable energy sources to power its factories

Choosing The Right Carpet
There are four basic types of fiber and each of them has their own strength or benefit. Decide what’s important to you and your decision will be easy!

Nylon 
Nylon carpet fiber is soft yet strong, shows color brilliantly, and is easy to clean. It is very resilient, fade resistant, and retains its texture well. Newer Nylons called “Nylon 6” or “Nylon 6/6” are more expensive but are engineered to be more durable and resistant to wear. These carpets are great choice for anywhere in the home, especially places where stains may occur. 

Polypropylene (Olefin)
The use of polypropylene in carpet has grown dramatically over the past ten years. It is extremely resistant to moisture, stains, fading, and chemical cleaning agents. Polypropylene, a value-oriented fiber, is notably colorfast because it is solution dyed, which means the color is added during the fiber production and not dyed later. Because it’s so resistant to moisture and mildew, it’s generally a good choice for both outdoor and indoor areas including playrooms, kitchens and dens.

Polyester (P.E.T.)
Made from recycled P.E.T. products, like plastic soda bottles, it is stronger than polypropylene and can perform as well as nylon at a lower cost. It offers exceptional softness, making it ideal for thick, cut pile styles. Polyester is also naturally and permanently stain and fade resistant. It has excellent color clarity, color retention, strength, and abrasion resistance. Carpets made from polyester are easily cleaned and they resist water soluble stains. As a recycled product, it is an inexpensive environmentally friendly option.

Wool
Wool is the crème dela crème of carpet fiber. It was the original fiber for carpet and is the only natural one of the four main fibers. It is tough and durable yet soft and luxurious. Dust, dirt, and oil-based stains come out easily because wool naturally releases the soil rather than absorbing it. In a high traffic room, it stays resilient and bounces back. It’s also environmentally friendly because it comes from a renewable resource. Wool is the most expensive carpet fiber and is generally used only in luxury carpets and area rugs.
