Tips, Trends, & Care

All carpets look alike. What makes Anything Goes! different?

Anything Goes! carpets were originally developed to address the number-one complaint concerning carpet performancematting and crushing due to twist loss. Backed by the strongest warranty protection available, ShawMark guarantees Anything Goes! carpets for up to ten years.

Filament Cross Section

The filament cross section illustrates the unique, compact delta shapewith virtually no indentationsthat make up the yarns used to manufacture Anything Goes! This solid delta shape offers modest bulking characteristics but exceptional resistance to packing and crushingdelivering the performance customers have been relying on since 1981.

Twist Level

In order to achieve the high resistance to packing and crushing found in Anything Goes! Carpet, the yarn we use is quite uniqueone with an optimal twist level. This continuous filament yarn has more twistmaking a stronger yarn with a smaller circumference. This greater twist means the yarn has less bulk but great resistance to packing and crushing.

Time & Temperature Formula (T&T)

The T&T Formula could be considered the recipe for making Anything Goes! These directions arent just uniquethey are one of the best kept secrets at Shaw.

You might compare the process of manufacturing carpet to baking a cake. You put three ingredients into your "cake": proper yarn cross section, twist level, and filament type. After "mixing" your ingredients, your cake goes into an oven at a precise temperature and for a certain period of time. If you apply the wrong numbers, your cake could be a disaster!
