There's an article in Floor Covering Weekly this week discussing the rise in the number of distributors in the carpet supply chain of late. This number rises and falls over time for various reasons I have never completely understood, and the article didn't delve into it. What the article did mention was the fact that different mills have different private label brands that they supply these distributors with. One of these brands is Anything Goes by Shaw.
Duane Goetze, residential marketing director for ShawMark, commenting on the "increased demand for polyester carpet, is quoted as saying "we've tested every available fiber, and nylon is the only fiber that will pass our durability requirements for Anything Goes.
So, this tells me that Shaw (and probably Mohawk) gets it. Polyester sucks.
But yet they still insist on producing carpets made of this junk.
Why do I bring this up?
Because this subject is a great blog or newsletter for your customers. If you can educate them about what to avoid and what to expect in relation to their fiber selection, it will be of benefit to both you and them.
