Anything Goes!®
A New Generation of Excellence
Anything Goes!® was originally developed almost thirty years ago to address the number one complaint concerning carpet performance - matting and crushing. While that problem still exists with many products, ShawMark's Anything Goes! carpets have proven their worth through years of rigid testing, both in the laboratory and by way of real-world "torture tests" in some of the most demanding settings imaginable. Since its inception, more than 38 million yards of Anything Goes! carpet have been sold - that's roughly 22,000 miles, or enough to carpet the distance between New York City and Melbourne, Australia - and back!
Today, two collections of Anything Goes! are available - Anything Goes! Green and Anything Goes! Elite. The new Anything Goes! Green styles are constructed of Anso® nylon, and Anything Goes! Elite products are crafted of STAINMASTER® nylon; both collections are made to the same exacting standards as the original carpets. Both collections also feature a variety of the most stylish carpet visuals, including freizes, textures, loops, patterns, and saxonies.
The objective of making such a high-performance carpet was simple: to keep carpet beautiful. Most carpets are extremely resistant to wear; there is no appreciable fiber loss, even after years of use. But matting and rushing over time can cause the yarn tufts to lose their resiliency and fresh appearance, causing the carpet to "ugly out." With Anything Goes!, the carpet you see today will retain its beauty for years to come.
What Makes Anything Goes and the No Mat/No Crush Warranty Different
There are two types of performance warranties; texture retention and no mat/no crush. The no mat/no crush warranty is less common, because the requirements for carpet performance are more stringent.
In many texture retention warranties, there is no minimum durability rating, and the warranty only covers "significant" loss of texture. Moreover, texture retention warranties often require the use of an approved pad; for example, a pad of 7/16 thickness or less with a minimum of 6-pound density may be stipulated. Matting and crushing, defined as the tufts coming untwisted or the pile becoming crushed, is excluded from texture retention warranties.
The Anything Goes warranty against matting and crushing promises that the carpet "will not mat or crush from foot traffic." The no mat/no crush warranty is clearly more definitive, with no specification regarding the degree of matting and crushing. In order to qualifty for the Anything Goes no mat/no crush warranty, these carpets are subjected to testing that is equivalent to twice the punishment endured by most styles tested for texture retention, and a minimum durability rating is required, certifying the carpet is suitable for high-traffic areas.
Experience the Anything Goes! difference
Anything Goes! is the most tested carpet available. Because of torture testing - and two cycles of the Vetterman Drum Test - we have the confidence to stand behind Anything Goes! with the industry's best warranty. Anything Goes! has the only no-mat, no-crush warranty. It covers stairs and hallways, is transferable to a new owner, and is not prorated.
If your Anything Goes! carpet should show matting or crushing from foot traffic and, as a result, the yarn tufts were to lose their twist so the carpet's appearance could not be restored, we would replace it at our expense with new Anything Goes! carpet of the same color and quality.
