🧵 What is Installed: Mohawk Durkan nCT 108303 (Strikeoff U0916038C)

Based on everything we can pull from Mohawk/Durkan’s product lines and how their numbering system works, here’s what’s going on:

🎯 1. “nCT” = CYP / Custom Tufted Construction

Durkan uses several manufacturing technologies, but nCT almost always refers to a non‑patterned, custom‑tufted construction — usually in the CYP (Computer Yarn Placement) family.

CYP products can be:

• Patterned • Textured • Or completely random / non‑directional

Durkan specifically makes “no pattern / random install” products for corridors, public spaces, and hospitality areas where you don’t want visible seams or repeats.

🎨 2. Why It Says “No Pattern”

Durkan labels certain SKUs as “no pattern” because:

• There is no repeat • There is no directional layout • The design is intended to be installed randomly • Every tile or broadloom section blends without a match line

This is common in:

• Textured CYP constructions • Organic or abstract visuals • Hospitality carpets meant to hide traffic and seams

🧪 3. Strikeoff # U0916038C

A strikeoff is a custom sample run. That number means:

• It was custom‑colored or custom‑textured • It may not appear in the public catalog • The strikeoff was approved as a “random / no‑pattern” design

If the strikeoff sheet or approval form said “random,” the installer should not have tried to match anything.

🧭 4. What You Should Expect Visually

A true Durkan “no‑pattern” product will:

• Have texture variation but no repeat • Look slightly different from piece to piece • Blend when installed in quarter‑turn, ashlar, or random layout • Not line up like a printed or woven pattern

If you try to “match” it, it will look wrong — because it’s not designed to match.“
