Fibers and performance
Nylon is widely used for resilience; polyester and triexta offer stain-friendly options; wool brings natural luxury. The right choice balances feel, traffic, pets, and budget.
Padding is part of the system
Padding affects comfort, acoustics, and carpet life. Match density and thickness to carpet type and manufacturer requirements—too soft or too thick can cause premature wear in some installations.
Maintenance
Vacuum regularly with the correct height setting; address spills quickly using methods approved for your fiber. Professional cleaning on a sensible schedule keeps high-traffic areas fresh.
