Top Flooring Brands We Carry: Shaw, Mohawk, Mannington, COREtec, and More

When you walk into the One Stop Flooring Shop showroom in Asheville, you'll see products from over 25 manufacturers across five flooring categories. That's a deliberate choice. Limiting ourselves to one or two manufacturers might simplify buying decisions, but it would also limit your options in ways that matter — budget, style, performance, and the specific application you need the floor to handle.

This guide introduces the brands we carry, explains what each one is known for, and helps you understand why brand choice matters more in some flooring categories than others.

Why Brand Matters (and When It Doesn't)

In some product categories, brand is everything — the name tells you almost the whole story about quality, warranty, and consistency. In flooring, it's more nuanced.

Brand matters most in categories where manufacturing quality creates significant performance differences: LVP (where core construction and wear layer specs vary dramatically), carpet (where fiber type and warranty programs differ widely), and tile (where firing temperature and density affect durability significantly).

Brand matters less when you're looking at a commodity hardwood species from a reputable mill — the difference between a Somerset white oak plank and a Mullican white oak plank of comparable spec is smaller than the difference between entry-level and premium LVP from the same manufacturer.

The more useful approach is to understand what each brand specializes in and where they lead the market — which is what this guide covers. For a full view of how all flooring types compare for Asheville homes, see our complete flooring options guide.

Hardwood Brands

Somerset

Somerset Hardwood Flooring is made in Somerset, Kentucky, with Appalachian hardwood sourced from eastern North America — a point of genuine regional pride for many WNC homeowners who prefer locally sourced materials. Their solid hardwood is known for consistent quality and authentic, character-grade options that don't look like they came off an assembly line. Somerset is a strong choice for anyone who wants the real character of Appalachian wood species.

Azalea Lane

Azalea Lane is a specialty collection with distinctive character-grade hardwood options and a Southern aesthetic. Azalea Lane products tend toward more visual character — more knots, more color variation, more of the lived-in look that suits historic Asheville homes and rustic mountain properties.

Mullican

A family-owned manufacturer since 1985, Mullican produces both solid and engineered hardwood with a focus on consistent quality and strong warranty programs. Their engineered lines have particularly good veneer thickness specs, which matters for how many refinishing cycles the floor will support over time.

Palmetto Road

Based in South Carolina, Palmetto Road has carved a niche in the wide-plank engineered hardwood market. Their products offer the large-format wood look that's popular in contemporary mountain-modern design at a competitive price point.

Shaw

Shaw is one of the largest flooring manufacturers in the world, which means a broad catalog, strong retail availability, and products at every price point. Shaw's hardwood lines include both solid and engineered, and their Repel waterproof hardwood collection is worth knowing about for applications near moisture.

Mohawk

Mohawk's hardwood lineup spans solid, engineered, and their TecWood line, which uses a Uniclic locking system for floating installations. The broad selection and national distribution make Mohawk easy to work with when specific products need to be reordered for repairs or matching later.

LW Flooring

LW Flooring carries some distinctive hardwood options beyond the standard catalog of common species. If you're looking for something outside the typical white oak or red oak lineup, LW is worth exploring.

Mannington

Mannington has been making hardwood floors since 1915 and the finish quality shows it. Their Restoration Collection and ADURA Rigid lines are well-regarded for durability and the accuracy of their wood-look patterns.

See the full hardwood lineup on our products page and our hardwood flooring guide.

Carpet Brands

Dream Weaver

Dream Weaver is one of the best value brands in the carpet category and a consistent top seller at our Asheville location. Based in Georgia, they produce triexta, nylon, and polyester lines with strong warranty programs and above-average wear testing. Their triexta collections offer built-in stain resistance without topcoat treatments that wear off over time.

Shaw

Shaw's carpet catalog is one of the broadest in the industry. Their PetPerfect collection — built specifically for households with pets — is a particularly strong product using solution-dyed nylon that resists both staining and fading better than most alternatives. Read more on pet flooring in our pet-friendly flooring guide.

Mohawk

Mohawk's SmartStrand carpet is a triexta product that carries a lifetime stain and soil warranty on qualifying lines. Their AirStep cushion-backed collection integrates padding into the carpet backing for added comfort and easier installation. Mohawk's style range is extensive, covering everything from textured frieze to formal saxony.

Southwind

Southwind is a reliable value brand for budget-conscious carpet purchases. Consistent quality, wide availability, and multiple style options make it a practical choice for rental properties and secondary bedrooms.

Tile Brands

Crossville

Crossville tile is made in Crossville, Tennessee — another domestically manufactured brand for buyers who prioritize American production. Their large-format porcelain tile is well-regarded for dimensional accuracy (important for tight-joint installations) and their environmental certifications are among the strongest in the industry.

Dal Tile

Dal Tile is part of the Mohawk family and one of the most widely distributed tile brands in the country. The selection is enormous — virtually every style, size, and material category is represented. Dal Tile is a reliable source for large-scale projects where availability and reorder consistency matter.

Happy Floors

Happy Floors sources Italian porcelain tile and their wood-look and stone-look lines are consistently among the most realistic-looking products in the category. If aesthetics are the priority, Happy Floors is worth seeing in person.

Florida Tile

Florida Tile produces a broad range of porcelain at accessible price points. Good value without sacrificing quality, and a solid option for bathroom and kitchen tile on a realistic budget.

Bella

Bella tile covers kitchen and bathroom applications with a clean, design-focused aesthetic. Their smaller format tiles for backsplash applications and decorative uses are strong.

Shaw

Shaw's tile lines complement their hardwood and carpet offerings well, particularly for large residential projects where coordinating materials from one manufacturer simplifies ordering.

Merola

Merola specializes in mosaic, encaustic cement, and distinctively patterned tile that goes beyond the standard catalog. If you want something visually unique for an accent wall, shower niche, or kitchen backsplash, Merola's collection is worth browsing.

Floors 2000

Floors 2000 offers value-positioned tile with reliable quality, particularly in standard porcelain formats appropriate for kitchens and bathrooms.

LVP Brands

The LVP category has the widest brand variation in terms of quality — the difference between a premium and an entry-level product is substantial. Here's how our lineup breaks down:

COREtec

COREtec invented the WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) LVP category and remains the benchmark for that core type. Their cork-backed planks are comfortable underfoot, quiet, and stable. The style range is extensive and the warranty programs are strong. COREtec is one of our most recommended brands for whole-home LVP installs.

Karndean

Karndean is the premium option in our LVP lineup. They use a glue-down installation method rather than the floating click-lock system that most other LVP brands use. The result is a floor with no hollow sound, no flex underfoot, and the most realistic stone and wood visuals in the category. Karndean costs more and takes longer to install, but it performs and looks different from standard LVP.

Mannington

Mannington's ADURA and ADURA Max lines are well-regarded LVP products with strong wear layer specs. They've been in the business long enough to have real-world performance data behind their products, which matters when evaluating long-term durability claims.

Shaw

Shaw's Floorté line covers a wide range of SPC and WPC products at multiple price points. Strong availability and style variety.

Mohawk

SolidTech and RevWood Plus are Mohawk's primary LVP and waterproof laminate lines. Both carry strong wear layer ratings appropriate for active households.

Stanton

Stanton is design-forward in the LVP space — their patterns and color options go beyond the standard wood-look catalog to include more distinctive styles.

Happy Feet, Southwind, LW Flooring, Legendary Floors, Engineered Floors

These brands round out our LVP offering with value-tier through mid-range options appropriate for budget-conscious projects, rental properties, and secondary spaces.

For more on choosing between LVP brands based on your specific application, read our LVP flooring guide and our waterproof flooring guide.

Laminate Brands

Southwind, Engineered Floors, LW Flooring, Mannington, Mohawk

Our laminate lineup covers value through premium across these five brands. Mohawk's RevWood stands out for water-resistant technology that expands where laminate can be appropriately used. Mannington's laminate finish quality and Southwind's value pricing are the other anchors of this category.

How to Choose the Right Brand for Your Project

The honest answer is that brand selection should follow application, not the other way around. Start with the room, the moisture exposure, the foot traffic, the aesthetic you're after, and your budget. Then match those requirements to products — and the brands that make those products well.

That's exactly what our team does during a free in-home consultation. We ask about how you use the space, what the subfloor looks like, whether there are pets or moisture concerns, and what your budget range is — and then we match you to products that genuinely fit. Schedule your free consultation or book online to get started.

You can also read our about us page to learn more about the team and why we carry the brands we do. Over 20 years in this industry means we've tested a lot of products — the ones in our showroom are the ones that consistently perform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all the brands you carry come with warranties?

Yes. Every brand we carry offers manufacturer warranties, though the specific terms vary significantly by brand and product line. Warranty coverage for wear layer, stain resistance, structural integrity, and finish vary — we'll walk you through the warranty details for any product you're considering.

Can you order products not currently in the showroom?

Yes. Our brand relationships give us access to products beyond what's on display. If you've seen a specific product from one of our brands and want to know about availability, contact us or come to the showroom.

Are all these brands available for residential and commercial projects?

Most brands carry both residential and commercial lines, though the products differ. LVP brands like Karndean, Mannington, and Shaw have strong commercial product lines in addition to residential. Tile brands like Crossville and Dal Tile are frequently specified in commercial projects.

Which brand is best for a tight budget?

In each category, the value options are: Southwind (carpet and LVP), Happy Feet (LVP), Florida Tile (tile), Dream Weaver (carpet), and Palmetto Road (engineered hardwood). These are genuine products from legitimate manufacturers — not bottom-of-the-barrel options — just positioned at more accessible price points.
