Fall is a time for hot cider and donuts, sweatshirts and bonfires and also new carpet products, both residentially and for commercial applications. Here is a first glance look at some of the new products rolling out for the fall season.
Caress by Shaw: Inspired by Nature
Shaw’s Caress Collection is made with the manufacturer’s softest Anso nylon to date, and is also enhanced with the company’s patented R2X stain and soil resistance system. R2X provides total fiber coverage and protection from the top to the bottom of the yarn to prevent spills from soaking into the carpet. Like all Anso products Caress is Cradle to Cradle certified, and the fiber is recyclable.
Karastan’s Silken Eloquence
Looking to build upon the success of SmartStrand Silk by its parent company, Mohawk, Karastan has introduced Silken Eloquence. The offering is not only the softest carpet made by the manufacturer, it includes 40 classic and sophisticated colors.
Mannington Commercial ‘Redefines’ Modular
Inspired by the rethink of fashion classics for today’s projects, Mannington Redefined carpet tile uses a proprietary, ultra-large denier fiber with patented variable twist technology to give the carpet a heavily textured look and feel, while maintaining its commercial grade performance. It is made with Ascend’s Ultron 6,6 for superior appearance retention, and resistance to matting and crushing.
A New Day Dawns at Royalty

Bentley Goes to the Western Edge

Power Patterns Heat Up PacifiCrest
