Brief
Overview of Carpet Fibers
- Nylon: This
is by far the most popular synthetic carpet fiber used in
carpet today. It offers tremendous value, performance, and
ease of maintenance. Nylon provides brilliant colors and
hides soil and traffic well.
- Olefin: This
fiber is also called polypropylene, and is extremely popular
in Berbers and level loops. Olefin carpets are highly stain,
static, mold, and mildew resistant. They can be used in indoor
or outdoor carpets, including outdoor turf. Olefin carpets
do not resist matting and crushing as well as carpets made
of nylon fibers.
- Polyester: Gives
excellent color clarity with a soft feel to the carpet. Lacks
the durability of a nylon carpet.
- Acrylic: Has
a real wool look and appearance. Used mainly in level loops,
bath mats and some velvet carpet styles. Offers good mold
and mildew resistance with low static levels.
- Wool: Although
somewhat expensive, wool still offers great bulk, performance,
and an elegant look.
