Want to learn more about carpet in their many amazing forms? Here’s what you need to know.

 

What Are the Different Types of Carpet?

 

Your carpet’s fibers, also called pile, are the distinctive weave of your carpeting and determine function, appearance, and ability.

This is where it’s especially important to pay close attention, especially if you have pets, small children, or allergies. Carpet fiber can be made from either synthetic materials, such as nylon, or natural materials, like wool.

 

• Nylon, a synthetic fiber, is a popular all-around favorite due to its sturdy build and eclectic color choices. It’s also incredibly soft and comes in many styles.

 

• Polyester, which is another type of synthetic pile, looks and feels a lot like nylon carpeting. An affordable alternative to nylon, polyester has come a long way. Today’s polyester carpeting is on par with nylon in terms of resilience.

 

• Olefin, also a synthetic carpet fiber, is appealing in its vivid color selection. Olefin is ideal for light-use spaces as it’s softer and less wear-resistant than other synthetics.

 

• Triexta, a heavy-duty synthetic pile, is a notable stain fighter. Triexta carpet is an excellent option if you recently adopted a puppy or have toddlers in the home.

 

• Wool, one of the most popular natural fibers, is warm and eco-friendly. It tends to be costly, but its sturdiness, stain resistance, and moisture resistance make it a very worthy investment over the long term.

 

Where Can Carpet Be Installed?

 

Carpet doesn’t fare well in the kitchen or bathroom, but otherwise, there are carpet solutions for nearly every interior environment.

There are heavy-duty synthetics that are perfect for installation in commercial environments, where foot traffic and spills are to be expected. Likewise, there are plush, velvety shags to comfort your bare feet in the master bedroom. These are but a few examples of where carpet can be installed.
