COVET THY CARPET


Karastan Contract Gives in to Temptation with Latest Woven Offerings

MARIETTA, Ga., March 1, 2009 — Don't try to resist the two new woven broadloom designs from Karastan Contract — a brand of The Mohawk Group. Part of Karastan's recently introduced Covet product line, Insatiable and Euphoric come together with the collection's three modular tufted patterns (Forever Envy, Ultimate Temptation and Completely Charmed) to evoke a cohesive sense of luxury and sophistication. And with the collection's enticing textures, eye-pleasing colorways and elegant style, it promises to make any installation the envy of its building.

Blending high and low luster yarns, Covet's Insatiable and Euphoric patterns feature higher twist levels than traditional woven carpet. A unique tonal look is achieved with its bright multicolor skein-dyed yarns. Masterfully constructed though Karastan's time-honored weaving techniques, the products are built to last, and by using less nylon in their manufacture, they can perform up to three times longer than other carpet construction — maximizing carpet investment and minimizing the burden on the environment.

Continuing The Mohawk Group's longstanding dedication to sustainability, Covet's products are CRI Green Label Plus certified and recommended adhesives meet the most stringent rules for VOC emissions. With superior strength against delamination and edge ravel, the durability of Covet's woven products ensures that the carpet stays in use and out of the recycling stream longer. Yet, when they reach the end of their useful life, the products can be reclaimed and recycled through the company's ReCover program. The Covet Collection is covered by a lifetime warranty.
