When it comes to flooring, few names carry as much weight as Mohawk.

With more than a century of innovation behind every product, Mohawk flooring is engineered to stand up to real family life without sacrificing style.

At RC Willey, we're proud to carry Mohawk alongside other trusted names in home furnishings and flooring. Explore our full flooring department or browse all our brands to see everything we have available in store and online.

Why Mohawk?

Mohawk isn't just the biggest flooring company in the world — it's one of the most innovative. The brand has pioneered some of the most significant advances in flooring technology over the past several decades, including the first waterproof wood flooring in the U.S. market, proprietary fiber technology that builds stain resistance directly into carpet fibers rather than applying it as a surface coating, and one of the most comprehensive pet protection warranties in the industry.

All of Mohawk's carpet is assembled in the United States. The brand is also deeply committed to sustainability — recycling more than three billion plastic bottles per year into EverStrand carpet fiber, using over 90% recycled wood content in laminate production, and investing in renewable materials across multiple product lines.

Whether you're replacing carpet in a busy family room, laying new floors throughout an entire home, or looking for a solution that holds up to pets and kids without looking tired after a year, Mohawk has a product line built specifically for your situation.

Mohawk Carpet: Finding the Right Fiber

Mohawk carpet is available in multiple fiber families, each engineered for a different lifestyle and priority. Here's how they break down:

SmartStrand vs. EverStrand — the most common question: SmartStrand's stain resistance is built permanently into the fiber through Nanoloc technology — it doesn't wear or wash off over time. EverStrand offers strong stain resistance and eco-friendly credentials at a more accessible price point. For households with pets, heavy spill risk, or high foot traffic, SmartStrand is the stronger long-term investment. For bedrooms, guest rooms, or spaces with lighter use, EverStrand delivers excellent value.

The All Pet Protection and Warranty: Many Mohawk carpet lines — including all SmartStrand products — come with Mohawk's All Pet Protection and Warranty. It covers all pets, all accidents, with no exclusions and no time limit on stain coverage. It's the only comprehensive stain warranty of its kind in the industry.

Mohawk's Commitment to Sustainability

Mohawk takes environmental responsibility seriously across its entire product lineup:

• EverStrand is made from 100% recycled PET, with Mohawk recycling more than three billion plastic bottles per year into carpet fiber
• RevWood laminate production uses more than 90% recycled wood content, significantly reducing carbon emissions
• SmartStrand is made partially from corn sugar — a renewable resource — requiring less petroleum and less energy to produce than traditional nylon
• Air.O carpet contains no latex or harmful VOCs, making it one of the cleaner indoor air quality options available
• Mohawk's ReCover carpet backing system allows entire carpets to be recycled at end of life, keeping materials out of landfills

Here's What Shoppers Usually Ask

• Is Mohawk flooring good quality? Consistently, yes. Mohawk's strength is offering well-engineered, durable products across a wide price range — from budget-friendly EverStrand carpet to premium RevWood Plus laminate with lifetime waterproof warranties. The key is matching the right product line to your specific room and lifestyle. Not every Mohawk line is right for every situation, but the brand's technology and warranty backing set it apart from generic alternatives.
• What's the best Mohawk carpet for pets? SmartStrand with All Pet Protection is the clear answer. Its stain resistance is built permanently into the fiber — not sprayed on — so it holds up through years of accidents, cleanings, and heavy use without losing effectiveness. All SmartStrand products carry Mohawk's lifetime stain and soil warranty with no pet exclusions.
• Is Mohawk flooring waterproof? It depends on the product line. SolidTech LVP and RevWood Plus are Mohawk's most waterproof options — both carry strong waterproofing warranties for everyday spills, wet mopping, and high-moisture environments. Standard RevWood and traditional hardwood lines offer water resistance but are not fully waterproof. Always check the specific product's warranty and specs.
• How does Mohawk compare to other brands? Mohawk competes directly with Shaw, Armstrong, and Pergo across most product categories. Its biggest advantages are the sheer breadth of its product lineup, its proprietary fiber technology (particularly SmartStrand), its All Pet warranty, and the fact that its carpet is assembled in the U.S. For shoppers who want a premium design-focused carpet option, Mohawk's sister brand Karastan sits at the top of the lineup.
• Can I install Mohawk flooring myself? Many Mohawk hard surface products — particularly RevWood laminate and SolidTech LVP — use a click-lock installation system designed for straightforward floating floor installation. Confident DIYers can often complete a single-room project in a day. Carpet installation is best left to professionals for the cleanest result.

What to Think About Before You Buy

• Room use and traffic level: High-traffic areas call for durable fibers like SmartStrand or Wear-Dated nylon. Lower-traffic rooms open up more options.
• Moisture exposure: Any room with potential water contact — kitchen, bath, basement — needs a waterproof or highly water-resistant product like SolidTech or RevWood Plus.
• Pets and kids: SmartStrand with All Pet Protection is the most comprehensive solution for active households.
• Sustainability priorities: EverStrand, Air.O, and SmartStrand all have meaningful eco-friendly stories if environmental impact matters to your purchasing decision.
• Budget: Mohawk offers solid options at every price point. Decide on your must-have features first — stain resistance, waterproofing, softness — then find the line that delivers them within your budget.

FAQs

• Where is Mohawk flooring made? Mohawk assembles 100% of its carpet products in the United States. Hard surface lines are produced domestically and internationally depending on the specific product.
• What is SmartStrand carpet? SmartStrand is Mohawk's flagship carpet fiber, made from Triexta — a DuPont Sorona polymer derived partly from corn sugar. Its stain and soil resistance is built permanently into the fiber itself, not applied as a surface treatment. All SmartStrand products carry a lifetime stain warranty and All Pet Protection with no exclusions.
• Is Mohawk RevWood actually waterproof? RevWood Plus with WetProtect technology carries Mohawk's strongest waterproof warranty, covering both the surface and the subfloor from water damage caused by everyday spills. Standard RevWood offers moisture resistance but is not fully waterproof. Always check the specific product's warranty terms.
• What's the difference between Mohawk and Karastan? Both brands are part of Mohawk Industries. Mohawk is the broader consumer line, offering flooring options across all price points with a focus on performance technology. Karastan is the premium design-focused brand — known for elevated styles, denser constructions, and a heritage of luxury craftsmanship.
• Does Mohawk carpet come with a warranty? Yes. Warranty coverage varies by product line. SmartStrand carries a lifetime stain and soil warranty plus All Pet Protection. RevWood and SolidTech hard surface lines carry their own waterproofing and wear warranties. Ask your RC Willey associate for specific warranty details on any product you're considering.
• What rooms is Mohawk SolidTech best for? SolidTech is Mohawk's 100% waterproof LVP line, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, laundry rooms, and entryways — anywhere moisture is a regular concern.
