Mohawk Aladdin Breaking News Carpet Tile vs Lynx Collection Carpet Tiles
Both are 24" x 24" solution-dyed polyester loop tiles at 16 oz face weight, so the real split is pattern and backing. The Lynx Collection has a stronger spec sheet: a defined 24" pattern repeat that hides dirt and traffic, 75.3% recycled content, and static control under 3.5 kV. Mohawk's Breaking News is a plainer textured loop in traditional colors on UltraSet Matrix backing, made in the USA. Lynx rates 4.9 from 48 ratings; Breaking News has no comparable rating record. Buy Lynx for busy commercial or pet-heavy floors; buy Breaking News for a simple, neutral residential look.
- Choose the Mohawk Breaking News if you want a plain textured-loop tile in traditional colors, made in the USA, and you don't need a pattern to hide traffic.
- Choose the Lynx Collection if you want a patterned loop that conceals dirt and traffic, documented recycled content and static control, and a strong owner rating.
