Carpet fiber basics
It’s very important to know a few things about carpet fibers before purchasing your flooring. Different fibers act differently under certain situations. Doing your homework can save you from having to replace your carpet more often than you should.
- Nylon: A synthetic fiber that is incredibly resilient, stain resistant, and easy to clean. Stands up to traffic well and has a longer lifespan that just about any other carpet fiber.
- Polyester: Less expensive than nylon, fade and stain resistant, often made from recycled materials. Disadvantages include poor resiliency and the tendency for fibers to mat.
- Olefin: Also known as polypropylene, it is fairly cheap, easy to obtain, stain resistant, bleach resistant, fade resistant, and optimal for outdoor use. This is due to its resistance to stains, water, mildew, and other moisture dangers.
- Wool: Often the preferred carpeting choice, this is by far one of the most expensive materials in the carpet world, costing twice as much (or more) as nylon. Stain resistant and easy to clean, it wears out under heavy traffic and requires a great deal of maintenance to look its best. This includes the need for moth-proofing. Another drawback to wool carpet is that it shrinks because it can hold about ten times its own weight in water, making mold and mildew common problems.
