With so many new flooring products and brands entering the market, it’s hard to figure out which one is right for you. Luckily, Georgia Carpet only offers the best of the best. Our latest addition has been the QuickStep line which is a brand acquired by Mohawk in 2005. For over 15 years, they have brought innovative technology and style in their laminate, vinyl, and engineered hardwood collections. Their laminate flooring is called NatureTEK, providing up to four times more scratch protection than other products on the market. Thanks to QuickStep’s WetProtect® TEKnology, which offers water-tight joints and lifetime subfloor/surface warranties, those with pets and children have nothing to worry about. Not only are you getting the most protective, durable flooring, but you are also getting a realistic visual. Finding hardwood alternatives with the same beauty as the real thing can be difficult. You want something high-quality, maybe even waterproof, that will stand the test of time. NatureTEK does just that. These floors have GenuEdge® TEKnology that enables the surface design and color to roll over the edge of each plank for the most realistic look. It’s easy to clean, maintain, and live on. Suppose you’re not sure laminate suits you, but you know you want a waterproof alternative to hardwood. In that case, QuickStep also has a luxury vinyl collection, EnduraTEK, which features trending wood and stone visuals. This lasting, transformative style has the ultimate wear, dent, stain, and scratch performance. You will have waterproof protection, whether it’s pet accidents, water, moisture, or spills. The EverTEK hardwood collection also has waterproof protection, which is not typical of engineered hardwood. EverLast® TEKnology ensures these floors remain beautiful four times longer than ordinary hardwood and are backed with a lifetime wear warranty to prove it. Clean up is simple with QuickStep’s EasyClean® TEKnology, which has stain and soil protection. Enhanced lacquer resists stains and soil build-up within the hardwood grain, keeping these floors looking better for longer. From NatureTEK, EnduraTEK, and EverTEK, you will surely find something that fits your decor and lifestyle needs. Whatever you choose, you’ll find durable, beautiful floors that can withstand all of life’s accidents. Browse all Quick-Step flooring here to find the perfect look for your home!

Shaw Residential Carpet FAQs

What makes Shaw residential carpet a good choice for my home?

Shaw is widely regarded as a high-quality carpet manufacturer. Their residential carpets offer a broad selection of styles, textures, and colors, from cozy plush carpets to durable loop and twist styles, which makes it easier to match the carpet to your home’s needs and decor. Additionally, many Shaw carpets include features such as stain-resistance, wear resistance, and pet- or family-friendly options, which make them suitable for everyday living spaces.

How do I maintain and clean Shaw carpet to keep it looking good?

Regular maintenance, like vacuuming and keeping dirt out with entry mats, helps prevent soil and grit from embedding in carpet fibers, which prolongs life and appearance. For spills and stains, act quickly and follow proper stain-removal guidelines. Many Shaw products are engineered to resist stains, but timely care will help maintain that benefit over time. Always review the specific care instructions included in your warranty, as different carpet collections may have slightly different care requirements.

Are there carpet styles that are better for households with pets or children?

Yes. If you have pets, kids, or high foot traffic, choose carpets with stain-resistant fibers, tightly woven construction, and darker or multicolor patterns that are better at hiding wear, dirt, or stains. Certain Shaw collections are particularly well-suited for these conditions. You may want to ask for our recommendations based on your household lifestyle (e.g. pets, kids, frequent guests, etc.).

How long should I expect my carpet to last? When should I consider replacing it?

With proper installation, good padding, and routine maintenance, high-quality residential carpet from Shaw can last many years, often a decade or more depending on use, before deterioration signs of use really begin to show. However, heavy daily traffic, pets, frequent spills, or neglecting cleaning may cause wear, matting, or color fading sooner. It’s wise to inspect carpets periodically: once you notice thinning, persistent stains, or uneven wear, it may be time to replace or re-carpet.
