Air.o is known to slowly change the soft flooring industry by diverting waste from landfills. Unlike traditional carpet, Air.o is engineered with just one material making it the only 100% recyclable flooring available.

To show you how easy it is to install Mohawk’s Air.o, here are the steps below

• Place and position Mohawk Air.o in the room to be installed while making sure that it is flat and tension free.
• A knee kicker is to be used for positioning only.
• Mohawk Air.o should be installed in a consistent pile direction. This can be determined in several ways. One of the most recommended, however, is the pencil and paper test: To perform this test.
• Take a standard sheet of paper and place a round object such as a pencil at the center.
• Roll the pencil back and forth. This will cause the paper to walk in the direction of the pile.
• Seaming – the seams must be straight-edged from the back. Mohawk Air.o should never be row cut. Take care to mark locations of the seam.
• The use of Mohawk branded adhesive, or tape is required to ensure optimum results and is the only approved adhesive or tape that Mohawk will warrant. Failure to use Mohawk branded adhesive or tapes can result in warranties being null and void.

• Fold Mohawk Air.o to allow for the application of adhesive or tape.
• The tape is to be applied around the perimeter of the room within ½ inch of any vertical abutment and in all seams. The use of tape in all seams is required in order to maintain coverage under the Mohawk Air.o warranty. Be sure to smooth the tape, removing all air bubbles.
• Unfold Mohawk Air.o into the adhesive or tape starting from the seam edges, making sure that the seam edges are not gapped or overlapped.
• Then press or tractor the seams. Seams do not require sealing with Mohawk Air.o.
• To trim the Mohawk Air.o at the wall, use a razor blade knife or any suitable trimmer. If transitions are taller than the Mohawk Air.o attached cushion, then the Mohawk Air.o is to be trimmed and tucked. If the transition is shorter than the Mohawk Air.o attached cushion, then appropriate molding should be used to protect the edges.

Other Sustainable Solutions from Mohawk

Mohawk’s continuous passion and drive to offer the best and high-quality products have given birth to some of the following sustainable solutions and innovations.

SmartStrand

SmartStrand carpets are made with DuPont Sorona fiber. This is a PTT polymer (polytrimethylene terephthalate) that is recognized by the Federal Trade Commission in 2009 as a separate subclass of fiber known as triexta. This most advanced fiber innovation makes SmartStrand carpets of highest level of beauty, comfort, and performance among the available carpets around. Here are some of its benefits:

Exceptional durability:

SmartStrand’s performs extremely well. It has a high resilience that Mohawk is very confident to back it by a claim with warranties that ranges from 15 to 25 years for texture retention, abrasive wear, and fade resistance. Mohawk even introduced The SmartStrand Challenge, which is a durability test that goes beyond the traditional one. During this test, the SmartStrand carpet is placed under various situations and then is observed under extreme conditions. Through this, Mohawk has demonstrated not only the carpet’s durability but its cleanliness as well.

Variety of style options:

With its exceptional durability, Mohawk is very confident to provide a variety of style options that can be well preserved. SmartStrand features a wide selection that ranges from thick, plush styles in various qualities, to geometric cut and loop patterns. It also carries several looped Berber styles. Most of the styles in the collection are contemporary, without being too trendy (although there are some very trendy styles as well) so there is little concern that the carpet will be seen as outdated in the near future. There is also an excellent color selection provided by SmartStrand.

Stain resistance:

SmartStrand is probably the only carpet with permanent, built-in stain and soil protection that won’t wear or wash off. It also features a lifetime stain and soil warranty. You can easily clean it with only the use of water no matter what the stain is—be it one of the carpet’s worst enemies like red wine, mustard, bleach, and pet accidents.



The stain protection feature successfully does this since it is built into the fiber instead of being sprayed on after production. So it is very permanent and will never wash or wear off. Furthermore, the fiber is also fade resistant, so there is no need to worry about leaving it under direct exposure to sunlight.

• 0% Moisture Absorption
• With this, SmartStrand carpets reduce the musty and dingy odors.
• All Pet Protection and Warranty
• Certified Free of Harmful Substances
