Mohawk offers quality, tradition and innovation in its flooring collections. Choosing our favorites was difficult with thousands of products to choose from. Here are some of our top picks for each of the collections.

Carpet

Whether you are looking for a smooth Saxony, an intricate pattern or a trendy shag, Mohawk offers thousands of carpet options in thousands of colors, styles and textures. One of our favorite products from Mohawk is the EverStrand carpeting, woven from fibers made from plastic beverage bottles. This soft yarn is died into hundreds of colors and into amazing patterns.

Hardwood

Mohawk’s hardwood floors are as durable as they are beautiful. Three surface finishes, including CrystalShield™, the exclusive Aluminum Oxide Ceramica or Natural Oil finish, mean there is a finish to suit your style and needs. Our favorite is the Strand Woven Bamboo in either Halea or Kahala styles.

Ceramic Tile

Mohawk offers four tile collections: Classic, Rustic, Slate and Artistic Statements. We like the innovative and contemporary feeling metal tile in the artistic collection.

Laminate

From rich woods, including oaks, hickories, walnuts, and more exotic teaks and rosewoods, Mohawk’s laminate collection spans the spectrum of wood floor replicas. Not to be outdone, the stone and ceramic laminate collection has tiles with beveled edges that have the look of stone. We love the mix and match layout of the stone laminate tiles.

Area Rug

From Traditional to Contemporary designs, Mohawk’s designers have created rugs that will suit any style room. We love the tan and white mixed herringbone patterned rug with it’s subtle pattern and neutral colors.

Bamboo Flooring

Bamboo flooring is all the rage these days not only for its aesthetic value, but also the environmentally friendly factor it lends to the homes where it is used. To give you a brief idea as to where its eco-friendliness stems from, bamboo is actaully a rapidly growing grass which can reach maturity within a time span of three to seven years. This is tremendously fast – especially when you compare it with other trees which are normally used for wood flooring like oak, which can take up to 120 years to grow to its full height.

Although bamboo is sometimes thought of as exotic, that doesn’t mean it has to be expensive! This makes for a rare combination of eco-friendly and affordable. If you plan to install on your own, before beginning installation, leave the bamboo in the room you wish to use it, for a few days. This process is called acclimation and it allows the bamboo acclimate to the temperature and moisture content of the room preventing any unnecessary expansion and contraction.

If you think bamboo flooring may look too monotone for a whole room, you’d be surprised at the diversity bamboo flooring is now offered in. Bamboo flooring can suit any style of decoration that you are planning to use in your house.

Installation and maintenance of bamboo flooring is very simple. Bamboo flooring can be easily swept every day and does not require special maintenance efforts on your part… except where water is concerned. Keep water contact with the floor at a bare minimum. If some amount of water is spilled, wipe it up immediately. Other than that, sit back and relax and enjoy your environmentally friendly floor!

You’re always looking for something new and different. Well, look no further! Check out the advantages of cork for uniqueness underfoot.

Cork is cool yet warm, attractive yet resistant. It is a chic, contemporary flooring product whose insulating properties make it warm to the touch (and your bare feet). Cork floors are beautiful yet fire resistant, moisture resistant, and impervious to pests (think termites) and rot. We’re talking durable here.

Cork is a natural, renewable ally. Cork floors are made from the bark of cork trees. (The tree isn’t damaged or destroyed when harvesting the cork.)

Millions of air cells in cork give these floors a natural cushion, deliver sound absorbing qualities and won’t trigger allergies – cork is hypo-allergenic.

Cork pulls out all the stops regarding versatility. Go ahead, consider cork flooring in any room in your home, including bathrooms and the kitchen. It’s available in a myriad of colors in both planks and tiles. It can be finished and re-finished, stained, bleached, pickled, painted, etched, inlaid–you dream it!

Cork installs easily and is easy on you. Cork floating floor panels are a breeze to install, neither glues nor special tools are required. Cork flooring is easy to maintain, with these floors you spend your time enjoying your home.

Cork is an economic alternative. Cork flooring can be yours for a fraction of the cost of expensive hardwood, without giving up beauty and elegance.

Here are ALL THE BENEFITS OF CORK FLOOR COVERING in a cool, concise list:

• Cork adds “talk value” and insulating value to homes

• Cork beautifully resists fire, moisture, pests and rot

• Cork is a renewable resource that’s easy on the trees

• Cork is soft underfoot, hard on noise and allergies

• Cork is electronics friendly, won’t create static electricity

• Cork goes anywhere in the home, uncork your imagination

• Cork installs easily and requires no fuss to maintain

• Cork is a cost-effective alternative to traditional flooring
