What Are Carpet Fibers?

Your carpet’s fibers are at the heart of its overall appearance and function. Carpet fibers are a major deciphering factor in determining how your new rug will manage stains, spills, heavy wear, and sun exposure.

• Nylon carpet is one of the softest synthetic fibers available and is prized for its stain resistance. Nylon carpet can be pricy, but if kept clean, it can last for a long time.
• Polyester carpet is extremely soft, with an appearance like nylon. Nylon carpet is a lot more affordable, however. While once considered an inferior product, polyester carpets being sold today are much more durable than those of yore.
• Triexta carpet fibers are rather rough to the touch, with their fibers woven into subtle patterns. Since it’s made to stand up to heavy use and dirt, triexta carpets are frequently installed in commercial settings, but they have grown increasingly popular with families on the go.
• Olefin/polypropylene carpet is made with luxury in mind, with silky fibers that feel like velvet fabric. Olefin carpet often showcases fancy patterns, which are a wonderful addition to formal spaces. These types of synthetic carpets are more intended for looks than heavy-duty usage and are best reserved for quieter settings.
• Wool carpet fibers are extremely soft, with naturally sustainable fibers making them highly sought after. Extremely durable and made to hold tight to its dyes, wool carpet is renowned for having colors that seldom fade. It’s also naturally resistant to moisture, mold, and mildew.

Which Carpet Pile Type is Right For My Home?

When choosing your new carpet, it's important to consider the different types of piles available. Pile refers to the thickness and texture of the carpet fibers. When deciding what pile is right for your lifestyle, consider the level of traffic in that area and how often it will likely need to be cleaned. Let’s explore the five main piles below.

• Loop and Cut-loop pile carpet: This carpet pile is made by weaving loops of yarn into the carpet backing. The loops can be of varying heights, creating a variety of textures. Loop pile carpet is durable and easy to clean, making it a good choice for high-traffic areas.
• Berber carpet: Berber carpet has a textured surface created by woven looped fibers of varying heights. It is durable and easy to clean but can be more difficult to install than other types of carpet.
• Patterned carpet: Patterned carpet is made with both cut and looped yarns to create a variety of patterns, designs, and textures. It conceals footprints and vacuum marks well and is durable enough for high-traffic areas.
• Saxony carpet: Saxony carpet has tightly twisted cut pile fibers that are heat-set straight. Saxony carpet is soft and luxurious but can be more expensive than other types of cut pile carpet.
• Frieze carpet: Frieze carpet has a unique texture created by long, twisted fibers in a cut pile style. This gives it a slightly curled appearance that conceals footprints and vacuum marks well. It is a practical choice for areas with significant wear and tear.
