Carpet

Carpeting is far more diverse than you may know. Look, performance & feel can all come down to variations in the type of carpet fibers used in each product. We’ll break down a few of the most common fiber types for you here.

Nylon is the most common, found in a wide range of both cut & loop pile styles that offer great color uniformity across the surface. It’s also the most versatile, providing excellent durability & flexibility. While not inherently resistant to staining, you’ll find some nylon products that feature a stain-resistant treatment for protection against common household spills & stains.

Polyester delivers exceptional softness & clarity of color. While not as versatile as nylon, it makes up for it by being naturally resistant to stains and fading.

Polypropylene or olefin is unique in that it will not absorb water. These fibers are solution-dyed, a process by which color is built into each fiber when it is formed. This means that the color cannot be removed from the fiber and will not fade over time, even when exposed to intense sunlight or bleach.
