WHAT IS THE BEST CARPET FIBER FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE?

What’s your carpet type?

When it comes to selecting your carpet it’s important to determine the performance level that you need with regards to wear and durability or stain resistance or both.

There are (3) primary yarn fibers used; Polyester, Nylon and Triexa.

Polyester Don’t stress over spills. Fiber-washed, Scotchgard™-protected polyester resists stains to keep your carpet looking like new. Great for quiet or social spaces with moderate to low traffic, like bedrooms, offices, and TV rooms.

Nylon Best for wear resistance. Pets and kids are no match for resilient nylon. It resists crushing and matting, and is performance-tested to stand up to the heaviest traffic.

Triexa Combination of both wear and stain-resistance. With excellent durability and built-in stain and soil resistance, Mohawk’s Triexta fiber resists stains and wear without sacrificing softness. Great for any room or activity level, this type of carpet fiber takes dining room spills and heavy traffic in stride.

You want your home to look its best, but some days it seems like your family and pets are conspiring against you. To find a carpet that will stand up to your active family, take a look at these different fibers and how they address the most common household flooring challenges.

Best Carpet Fiber for Soil and Stain Protection

If staining is your biggest flooring issue, carpet made of polyester fiber may be your hero. Polyester resists stains to keep your carpet looking like new, so your children don’t have to give up grape juice, and you don’t have to live in fear of spilling your favorite red wine. Polyester carpets are best suited for quiet or social spaces with less foot traffic like bedrooms, offices and TV rooms.

Best Carpet Fiber for Wear Resistance

Pets and kids are no match for resilient nylon. It resists crushing and matting and is performance tested to stand up to the heaviest traffic. Nylon carpet works well in areas that see a lot of action: living rooms, hallways, stairs and playrooms. However, if you’re worried about staining, you should not expect to see the best results with a carpet made from nylon.

Worry-Free Carpet Fiber Offering Both Stain Protection Plus Wear Resistance

In most homes with active families and pets, carpet stains and wear aren’t mutually exclusive—both are common complaints. Triexta fiber, a recent innovation offering the best of both worlds, was developed to resist both stains and wear without sacrificing softness.
Great for any room or activity level, carpets made of triexta take dining room spills and heavy traffic in stride. With extra durability and built-in stain and soil resistance, triexta carpet will let you say good-bye to stains and wear and hello to easy living with pets and kids.
Now that you’ve narrowed down the type of carpet fiber that is best suited for your home, It’s time to consider different carpet styles.
