Air-O carpet

[kingsolver72]

I saw another thread about carpet but it is for cars. It made me think of a new carpet made by Mohaw called Air-O and I’ve been installing lots of it lately. It has the pad constructed to the back of the carpet. No latex in the carpet. Using “advanced” polymers. So it’s made of plastic. I heard a Rep say that it’s technically not categorized as carpet. It’s supposed to be hypoallergenic and VOC free. They say that the fibers don’t absorb or moister so no growth of allergens and microbes.
Super easy to install if its on a concrete floor. It’s a bear to position on wood subfloors. The kicker is you don’t power stretch it, it’s a loose lay. Don’t need a knee kicker. Double face tape the perimeter and seams. The down side to installing it is if you have tackstrip down, it needs to be removed.
I’ve been installing it for about six months now, meaning you guys on the coast have probably known about it for years.
Has anyone here heard of it or had it installed in your home?
