While we were renovating our cottage, we were on the lookout for flooring that could be able to handle both the Canadian winters and the boisterous summer parties that we hold. We came to the conclusion that Mohawk Flooring was ideal for its balance of durability, aesthetic appeal, and functionality.
The RevWood collection is the perfect marriage of the look of hardwood but with the strength and moisture resistance we were looking for in our high-traffic cottage.
We could further tailor the style of each space to meet our rustic, charming cottage while remaining practical, all thanks to Mohawk’s impressive variety of styles.
Features of Mohawk Flooring We Liked
Outstanding Durability Through Every Season
After 3 years of experience, we can say, without a doubt, that Mohawk flooring is durable and long-lasting. RevWood Plus laminate has been subjected to heavy foot traffic, party messes, muddy boots, and even pets running through the cottage.
During winters, we have seen how effectively the flooring retains heat better than expected. That definitely makes a lot of difference on cold days; the floors become comfortable to walk on and do not even need floor heaters.
Eco-friendly Selections
As a family who cares about the environment, we really appreciate that Mohawk uses eco-friendly materials. This RevWood collection is built from renewable resources and reduces the environmental footprint, so it really suits us.
We know our floors are not only long-lasting but also environmentally friendly, so we feel great about that. Also, with Mohawk’s openness to their green initiatives, we can really enjoy our cottage knowing that we have chosen the best for the planet.
Versatile Style Options for Every Room
Whether you prefer the rustic elegance of distressed wood or the sleek, contemporary appeal of modern designs, Mohawk has something for everyone. The “Weathered Chestnut” finish from the RevWood Plus line fits perfectly in our cottage, giving it a warm, natural look that complements our interior.
The finishes and textures allowed us to bring our personal style to life, ensuring that every room feels uniquely ours while still maintaining a cohesive design. The SmartStrand carpet in the bedrooms provides a soft, plush feel that contrasts beautifully with the more textured laminate in the living areas.
Waterproofing: A Must-Have Feature for Our Cottage
With a lake house and messy guests, we needed something that could take the spills, moisture, and dirt. Mohawk’s RevWood Plus line was the game-changer with waterproof technology.
Snow tracked in from winter adventures or an unexpected spill during a summer BBQ nothing has been able to penetrate the flooring. We no longer have to worry about ruining our floors with water, and cleanup is a breeze just a quick mop, and it’s as good as new.
Warranty and Customer Service
One of the best features of Mohawk Flooring is its comprehensive warranty, which is a huge bonus for any long-term investment. This RevWood Plus Laminate is accompanied by its limited lifetime warranty to deal with wear and tear, stain, and fading, making it great for a high-traffic cottage that regularly plays parties.
Their customer care and support are fantastic. Every other time we have needed answers over installation and care, I can assure them it will only be better for a period yet to come.
Installation Experience: Smooth Work with Contractor
We had our contractor friend come in and assist with the installation of the flooring, which was relatively a straightforward process. The RevWood laminate click-lock system makes it easy to assemble.
This meant we could complete one room at a time, spending a few weekends getting everything laid down. We chose an underlayment as Mohawk recommended for extra comfort and sound absorption.
This is essential when hosting family or friends over for parties. We only had a problem leveling the subfloor in a few rooms, but it was all worth it as everything laid down easily, and it was well worth the extra work.
Maintenance: Easy Care for High-Use Areas
So, for that reason alone, maintaining the Mohawk Flooring has been rather easy; this is critical in a busy cottage such as this. The laminate in RevWood is almost self-sustaining; we can clean it with a damp microfiber mop and laminate floor cleaner once a week, and it looks like the day we installed it.
The SmartStrand carpet in our bedroom is no different. Thanks to its stain-resistant technology, we ve had no issues with spills, and a quick vacuuming session keeps it looking fresh. Regular maintenance takes just minutes, making it a hassle-free solution for our busy home.
Costing: the Quality is Worth Every Penny
While Mohawk Flooring may not be the cheapest option out there, it s an investment that has truly paid off. The RevWood Plus cost us around $3.50 per square foot, and the SmartStrand carpet came in at $4 per square foot, including padding.
Considering the quality, durability, and the fact that we’re covered by warranties and insurance, the value we received is more than worth it.
Furthermore, we have noticed how the flooring withstands even the busiest areas without showing any sign of wear and tear; thus, it will last us for years without needing replacement.
Where We Bought Our Mohawk Flooring
We bought our Mohawk Flooring from a reputable local dealer in Canada. The sales team at this store was extremely helpful and had guided us throughout the selection.
We could take samples into our homes to see which finish would best work in a particular room, which would have helped make decisions immensely.
They knew their stuff pretty well and gave great guidance on selecting the right thing for our cottage.
Soundproofing: Quiet Comfort
One of our biggest concerns when we were choosing a floor was noise, especially since our busy cottage is full of guests and family.
The underlayment we used for the RevWood Plus has been outstanding in terms of soundproofing, and there’s no creaking or other unwanted noise, even when we get really rowdy at parties.
The flooring is quiet and comfortable underfoot, which adds to the overall cozy atmosphere of the cottage.
Conclusion: Overall Experience
Looking back, we re thrilled with our choice of Mohawk Flooring for our Canadian cottage. It s stood up to everything we ve thrown at it whether it s winter snow, summer parties, or the daily wear and tear of cottage life.
The comfort, warmth, and durability it provides have made our cottage even more enjoyable, and we are confident that it will continue to perform beautifully for many years to come.
If you are in the market for flooring that combines style, durability, and easy maintenance, we highly recommend Mohawk Flooring. It’s made our cottage feel like home, no matter the season.
