Nylon
-
The most frequently used carpet fiber, highly
desirable due to its exceptional durability,
versatility, and reasonable pricing. It can be dyed
in an endless variety of colors and made into
numerous styles and textures. Nylon is commonly used
in residential and commercial applications.
-
Polyester
-
Used in residential and a few commercial
applications, polyester has good color clarity,
colorfastness, and resistance to water-soluble
stains. Made from recycling plastic bottles. This
"food-grade" PET Polyester fiber might be considered
to be better quality than "carpet-grade" polyester
fiber.
-
Polypropylene
-
Also known as Olefin, this fiber resists fading,
generates low levels of static electricity, is
favorably priced, and can be engineered in outdoor
applications. Due to its manufacturing process,
polypropylene inherently resists stains. When used
in specific carpet constructions, this yarn will
perform as well as most resilient fibers.
-
Wool
-
The most expensive of the fibers listed here, it is
a natural fiber with moderate soil and stain
resistance. Durable, luxurious "hand", reduced
visible soil due to fine, light-scattering
characteristics.
