Comparing carpet fibers

If you're interested in carpet flooring, you'll need to know more about the fibers before you shop. Fiber choice can significantly affect your flooring results, from visuals to performance.

Each one offers different benefits that could serve you in different ways. And the more you know in advance, the better your flooring results will be.

Consider your fiber choices


1. Nylon?

Nylon is the most popular fiber, making up most of the carpeting sold in today's industry. It's durable, offering exceptional wear resistance and beautiful visuals.

2. Polyester

By itself, polyester offers excellent stain resistance and features the brightest carpet colors. But if you need high-traffic materials, nylon is the better choice.

3. Wool

Wool is an all-natural material that offers impressive benefits. The colors are stunning, and it's very durable as long as it's kept dry.

4. Polypropylene

Also known as olefin, these floors are naturally resistant to water damage and fading. They lack comfort in other fibers but make up for their durability.

5. Triexta Polyester

This carpet fiber is soft and resilient and offers good resistance against most stains. It's an excellent choice for staircases and children's rooms.
