Product Steals + Splurges: Mohawk Group

Jan. 29, 2016

Design-savvy options for any budget

Let’s face it: no designer wants to see their thoughtful designs get cut to pieces because of the bottom line. Projects too often get value engineered down to the lowest bidder, and specifiers are often left looking for lower-cost product options that will do the job without sacrificing aesthetics.

Then again, you might be fortunate enough to work with a client with deep pockets and are looking for that perfect product regardless of its price point.

Wherever you find yourself on the spending spectrum, Steals+Splurges offers some great options in a range of costs. This month, we take a look at some offerings from Mohawk and pair similar flooring designs at a variety of price points to ensure you find the right product for your needs.

 $$
Secoya $3-$3.50/sq. ft.*
 

Secoya is one of the styles in Mohawk’s Hot and Heavy resilient tile collection. These bold, oversized formats are some of the most sought after products in the industry and are made possible by their loose lay construction. Each jumbo tile and plank is coated with a non-skid backing that, together with the substantial weight of the product, keeps tiles on the floor under heavy commercial traffic.

Diffused Selvage $12-14/sq. yd.*  

Part of Mohawk’s popular Fiber Arts collection, Diffused Selvage is a tufted, textured patterned loop broadloom product that achieves a woven appearance. Available in nine sophisticated colorways and manufactured with premium-branded solution-dyed nylon, Diffused Selvage offers a unique elegance for high-traffic contract environments.

 $$$$$  
City Feel $6.50-$7/sq. ft.*
