PADDING
Regardless of the carpet, better padding means more comfort underfoot.
NYLONThe most popular carpet fiber used today. It offers excellent value, performance, and ease of maintenance. It comes in brilliant colors and hides traffic well.
NYLON 66Nylon 66 is the best performing type of nylon out of the 200 varieties used in carpet fibers. It is fade resistant and wears better. Only Wear Dated and Tactesse use nylon 66.
We recommend continuous filament fibers for the best performance.
OLEFIN / PROLYPROPYLENEHighly stain, static, mold, and mildew resistant. Commonly found in Berber and level-loop carpets.
WOOLThe most luxurious fiber type around with an elegant look, soft wool feel, and great performance with a relatively expensive price point.
POLYESTERSimilar to nylon, polyester offers great color and feels great under foot, however its resilience is generally not as strong as nylon.
