Las Vegas — Mohawk and its sister brand Daltile will again be the exclusive suppliers of flooring for The New American Home (TNAH), which will be a focal point of the 2014 NAHB International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas Feb. 4–6. Over 3,000 square feet of Mohawk carpet and hardwood as well as Daltile’s tile and natural stone will be used throughout TNAH.
Since 1984, The New American Home has been built to showcase NAHB supplier members’ products. It has the distinction of being both a show house and a for-sale product, balancing architectural freedom and the bottom line.
The show home demonstrates what NAHB calls builders’ best practices, which includes concepts, materials, designs and construction techniques that can be replicated—in whole or in part—in housing built any place and in any price range.
Mohawk’s hardwoods include Pasadena Plank, a true handscraped product, and Hollandale, a very tight handscraped wood with chatter/railroad tracks that add even more character to each plank. The carpet used in the bedroom is Mohawk’s SmartStrand Silk with DuPont Sorona carpet, a Green Label Plus Certified premium soft pattern product made with partially renewable plant-based ingredients. It not only provides luxurious softness but also features built-in stain and soil protection that never washes or wears off and cleans with just water.
The contemporary style and sophistication of Daltile’s Unity and Ever ColorBody porcelain products team up to make a statement in the Entry Runway of the TNAH. Ever, with its true interpretation of natural stone, combines timeless visual harmony with the everlasting style and performance of a ColorBody porcelain tile. Unity, one of the toughest tiles available, will be featured as the downstairs main floor as well as the covered terrace and porch. Daltile’s newest glass tile Color Wave is featured in the Master Bath creating a space that pops with personality and drama.
