What Are The Different Types of Carpet?

Today, there are more types of carpets on the market than ever. Plenty of cut-pile styles and carpet fibers, from friezes to patterns. While it’s essential to figure out what color and style you like best, it’s even more critical to determine what carpet meets the needs of your home and room. Considering carpet pile and fiber is crucial since each offers different benefits and drawbacks. Carpet piles can determine how well the carpet handles traffic and hiding, or not hiding, foot traffic and vacuum marks. Carpet fiber can determine how well your carpet handles stains and other daily wear and tear.

The Fundamentals of Carpet Fibers

• Nylon—This popular synthetic fiber is strong, but not naturally stain-resistant. It is often treated to protect against spills.
• Polyester – another synthetic fiber, is less expensive and has natural stain-fighting abilities. However, it is not as durable as nylon.
• Triexta – A new synthetic fiber, triexta is naturally durable and doesn’t need to be treated to fight stains.
• Olefin, or polypropylene, is a synthetic fiber commonly used for decorative rugs and carpets. It should not be used in rooms with heavy traffic.
• Wool – a natural fiber from sheep, is easy to clean and sustainable. The dense fibers help trap dust and dirt, so they’re not floating in your breathing zone.

Thanks to modern manufacturing advancements, you don’t need to sacrifice style for function. We now offer carpeting that meets the needs of pet lovers and parents.
