If you're searching for perfect carpeting, much of your decision will be based on the fibers that make up the product. Several options are available, giving you different benefits and decorating results, so choose with care.

There's good news for homeowners unfamiliar with carpet fibers and their characteristics. We can help you create fantastic results for any remodel, and here are some facts to help.

Consider your fiber choices

Considering the different available fibers, you should compare their characteristics and benefits with your specific needs and requirements. Here is a quick list of fibers for your floor-covering consideration.

· Nylon – A robust and resilient fiber that resists crushing and matting in low to mid-traffic areas.

· Polyester – Offers excellent stain resistance and brilliant colors

· Olefin – These fibers resemble wool, with extensive stain and bleach resistance, and at a more affordable price than nylon.

· Acrylic – Resistant to moisture, fading, mildew, stains, and electricity, acrylic is best reserved for low-traffic spaces.

· Wool – A natural fiber that contains no additives or chemicals, best used in areas with low humidity.
