Nylon

Nylon is the most popular material type which has been used in carpet construction Since the 20th century. Nylon 6 and nylon 6-6 are both used in carpet construction and dyed topically. This carpet material is easily printed and dyed and has excellent wearing characteristics as compared to other carpet materials. That’s why this is widely used in the carpet construction industry. Nylon is sturdy and also the best stain-resistant carpet for the whole house. It’s durable and resistant to wear. It’s not good at fighting stains, so some varieties include a stain-resistant treatment. Nylon is ideal for homes with pets and children. It’s even a perfect choice for high traffic areas such as hallways, stairs, etc.

Polypropylene

Polypropylene is cheaper than other carpet materials, and a polyolefin is stiffer than the cheaper polyethylene. This material is difficult to dye and print. Polypropylene does not wear as well as wool or nylon. Polypropylene is similar to olefins, which are mostly used in Berber carpets.

Olefin is resistant to moisture, mold, and mildew and makes a good carpet for basements and outdoors. It’s tougher than nylon but not as comfortable to walk on.

Olefin carpet further has two varieties large looped olefin and small loop olefin. The Large looped olefin Berber carpets are mostly used for light traffic areas. The smaller loops of Berber carpets tend to be more resilient and durable, even ensuring their new appearance is longer than large looped Berber styles. Olefin carpet flooring is moisture and stain-resistant and is recommended for commercial use.

A wool Carpet

Wool materials can be dyed easily and are fairly abundant. The wool carpet is more durable than the nylon carpet because the pool c pet is blended with synthetic fibers. Blended carpets are extremely demanding in the modern carpet industry and commonly blend 80% wool to 20% synthetic fiber such as nylon. Wool carpet comes in huge varieties in color, style, and design and is mostly used for royal flooring. That’s why wool carpets are expensive and come in small market portions.
