Nylon Carpet
Nylon carpets are popular due to its excellent durability, stain resistance, and maintenance ease. Nylon also has good resistance to wear, mould, mildew, and rot. If cared for well, these carpets can last 12 to 15 years. This makes it among the most durable of synthetic fibres.
Polypropylene (Olefin) Carpet
Polypropylene is another popular choice for carpeting, and it’s almost as soft as nylon. It is mainly used in commercial settings but is equally comfortable in residential homes.
Polyester Carpet
Polyester is a synthetic fibre that is hypoallergenic and fade-resistant. This means that it’s an excellent choice for anyone with allergies or who is concerned about carpet wear. It’s also eco-friendly since it can be made from recycled plastic bottles, making this material great for the environment.
Wool Carpet
A luxurious, natural material with excellent durability, wool is also the softest carpet fibre to find.
Wool is a unique material with many great qualities. Wool carpets are chemical-free, which is perfect for those with allergies or sensitivities.
Triexta Carpet
One of the newest and most innovative carpet fibres available is triexta – known for it’s incredible stain resistance and cloudlike softness in one package. These are more stain resistant than solution-dyed nylon and arguably softer than wool. Furthermore, triexta is renewable as it is made from corn starch which is a readily available resource.
