Carpet products remain one of the most popular flooring choices due to their comfort, style variety, and acoustic benefits. However, the performance, cost, and environmental footprint vary significantly across brands. This analysis compares five leading carpet manufacturers—Shaw, Mohawk, Engineered Floors, Beaulieu International, and Dixie—to provide a clear, consumer-friendly guide.
The comparison is based on four major evaluation categories
Durability, resilience, comfort, installation, and special needs (e.g., water or fire resistance).
Initial costs, installation, maintenance, and life-cycle costs.
Styles, textures, colors, and fade resistance.
Sourcing, recycled content, and overall footprint.
Data is drawn from manufacturer specifications, industry standards (like PEI, AC ratings, and IIC scores), consumer reviews, and independent flooring tests.
