Triexta carpet fiber
Triexta is a newly classified fiber made partially from corn sugar. Triexta has an excellent, permanent anti-stain property. It is resilient. The superior stain resistance makes it a good choice if you have pets or young children.
Nylon carpet fiber
Nylon outperforms other fibers in ease of maintenance, resilience, and durability. When you want the carpet to last a long time, have high-traffic areas in the home, or have pets and active kids, nylon is a good choice. High-quality nylon has a 'branded' label that says "100 percent; the manufacturer's name such as SmartStrand, Weave Tuft, Shaw, or Mohawk; nylon." Unbranded labels only say "100 percent nylon."
Polyester carpet fiber
Polyester is also stain resistant. It is very luxurious and soft underfoot. Polyester fiber carpet is available in vibrant and dark colors. It is harder to clean than nylon. The polyester may shed,and is not as durable as nylon. It is best suited for low-traffic areas such as bedrooms or households without pets or kids.
Olefin carpet fiber
Olefin is an inexpensive, attractive carpet fiber that is strong and fade-resistant. It is not as resilient as nylon. Frequently, olefin is made into a Berber carpet having a nubby weave that conceals dirt. Olefin is mildew, static, and stain resistant. It is often chosen for high-traffic areas such as play areas or family rooms.
