Fibers are the threads weaving your carpet together, and they play an essential role in determining how your rug feels and functions. Your carpet’s fibers, or pile, can be either synthetic or natural. Some of the most popular synthetic options include nylon, polyester, triexta, and olefin. Wool carpet is one of the most beloved natural options. These materials can be incorporated into various styles, including level loop, patterned, textured, frieze, and plush.
Nylon carpets, woven using soft, synthetic fibers, are traditionally soaked in clear, chemical coating to keep stains from taking roost. Nylon carpet is prized in both commercial and residential settings, but it tends to be costly. Polyester carpets, made from synthetic fibers with a similar feel to nylon, are an affordable alternative. Thanks to recent innovations, polyester is slowly, steadily competing with its counterpart’s stain-resisting abilities.
Triexta carpets are woven from tough, subtly patterned synthetic pile that’s made for impressive stain resistance. This type of carpet can accommodate many commercial needs, since it’s incredibly strong and hides everyday dirt and debris. Olefin/polypropylene carpets are among the softest synthetics available. Made in intricate patterns, most olefin rugs are made for beauty rather than function, so they’re not a good option for highly trafficked areas.
Wool carpets are woven from natural fibers, which are wholly renewable. Wool carpets are sturdy and enduring, and can resist dirt, mold, and even mildew. If properly cared for, wool carpets can last for generations.
When choosing a new carpet, you should factor in wearability and how often you use the space you want to install new carpet in. For spaces where you entertain a lot or children and pets spend a lot of time, you may want to consider either a stain-resistant carpet or a waterproof carpet. Carpet is made to be stylish as well as functional in your home or office setting.
