Mowhawk Airo

[ButlerFrank]

Any of y'all ever come across this carpet yet? No tack strip and the pad is attached to the carpet.

Not sure of pricing yet. Ran in to the owner of a local store yesterday. They are going to start selling it, in the process of installing some in their showroom this week. I'm curious to get more info when I stop by there.
Apparently no tape use on the seams either.

Looks like residential carpet tiles on a roll.

Is there any special cleaning procedure we need to know about with this type of carpet?

Mohawk Airo is PET from top to bottom. What might be an issue is using a RE since that carpet is not stretched it is layed in place on tape. I would beg to differ on not having to tape the seams, something needs to be there to hold it together and the seams need to be sealed.

You're probably correct, Andy. It was a quick conversation in passing at the gas station. He may very well have been talking about not needing a seaming iron and I'm mis remembering. He said they should have the show room finished by Monday so I plan on stopping by there and getting more info then.

Too little too late.

All the mills had to do is to continue making the quality carpets they made in the early 1980's.

Each of the many mills I visited from 1988 on seemed to be on a quest to "cut costs". No problem with that if it didn't reduce quality.

From cheaper fibers to cheaper binders and glue...they massively reduced QUALITY, and their long suffering customers noticed.
