Common carpet fibers include Olefin, which makes up the vast majority of commercial carpeting, and nylon, the strongest carpeting material available. Residential carpeting fibers include acrylic, blends, polyester, wool, and a few others. The carpet fiber you choose is dependent on a number of factors: the comfortability and durability desired, the foot-traffic of the proposed area, and other elements should be considered. When you’re choosing a carpet, always explore samples and reviews!
