Comparing carpet fibers

Comparing carpet fibers gives you an advantage when it?s time to shop for your perfect floor covering. Today we're going to speak specifically to a few different fibers to provide you with an idea about the differences between them, so read along for more information.

We help create your best carpeting experience


Choosing the best carpeting for your home could come down to the perfect fiber option, especially if your home is busy and heavily traveled. For instance, nylon and polyester are both incredibly choices for any home, but they are different enough that one might be better for you than the other.

Nylon is the most popular material and is generally very durable, with high crush resistance and strength. However, polyester wins when it comes to stain resistance, as it is a hydrophobic material that repels water.

Wool is an all-natural material that is different from all the rest. It has extensive durability, resists stains and crushing, offers insulation and flame retardant, and is a sustainable flooring choice. We can give you all the details about the carpeting we carry, so be sure to visit us whenever you?re in the area.
