Durable by design. Tough flooring for demanding spaces. Conventional wisdom says carpet is a higher maintenance solution for education facilities.

That’s because we engineer performance into every product we make. With proper routine maintenance, such as vacuuming and following simple cleaning instructions, carpet from The Mohawk Group will maintain its beauty for years to come. In fact, carpet will allow...

Contain your maintenance costs. Duracolor: 96% of stains removed with clear water. Duracolor is permanent stain resistance – not a topical treatment that can wash off or wear away. Its patented ability to resist stains is engineered into its molecular structure and has been proven effective in millions of yards of demanding installations. No other stain resistance technology comes close to Duracolor’s record of success. The fact that Duracolor can be cleaned with water or a mild detergent means you don’t need expensive chemical cleaners and you can reduce maintenance time and labor costs....

Choose lasting performance. Soft or hard surfaces: performance products that fit the space. Education flooring needs change throughout a facility. Why should a one-floor-fits-all approach be expected to work everywhere when your priorities vary from stain resistance to quiet comfort to resilience under high traffic? Regardless of the space, the demand for maximum performance remains critical. The Mohawk Group specializes in fitting the right high performance product to each space to ensure ease of maintenance and the longest possible life cycle. Our hard and soft surface options promise...

Does carpet reduce the likelihood of slips and falls? Can carpet restrict the spread of airborne allergens? Can carpet reduce the spread of infectious diseases? Lees, Shirt | StoneWalk Infection Control | Slip + Fall Injuries | Indoor Air Quality – VOC Emissions – Asthma/Allergy

Slip and Fall Injuries Minimizing slip and fall incidents – especially in high traffic areas – is easy and cost effective with the right flooring. Slips and falls account for as much as 43 percent of all non-playground injuries in schools.* The costs of these incidents are estimated to exceed $20 billion** for medical treatment alone. Students, teachers and school visitors are more likely to slip and fall in the areas where they do the most walking. But, if they’re walking on carpet, their chances of slipping and falling are greatly decreased. And if they do fall, they are much less likely...

High Traffic = High Dust. Corridors and classrooms experience a lot of foot traffic on any given day. All of that walking stirs up airborne particulates that students, teachers and visitors could potentially breathe. Fortunately, carpet helps by reducing the amount of dust and allergens in the air. Many particulates that fall to the carpet are held there and remain away from the breathing zone until they are removed by vacuuming or cleaning. On the other hand, walking on hard surfaces actually disturbs more particulates than walking on carpet and these remain in the air. So, for the highest...

“Hard surfaces make it easier to clean up frequent spills. But are they really effective at resisting the transmission of bacterial, fungal and other types of infections?” A Growing Concern. Some areas just need more clean-up. By their very nature, bathrooms, cafeterias, science labs and entries require more maintenance. That’s where the most spills and wetness occur and it’s where hard surface flooring really excels. Spills on rubber, vinyl tile and other hard surfaces are easily cleaned. Properly cleaned hard surfaces will effectively resist the growth of bacteria, fungus and mold. The...
