Carpet Fibers and Construction

The fiber of a carpet floor has a major impact on its overall performance. The most common fibers are nylon, olefin (polypropylene), polyester, and wool. Each type has its own considerations:

Nylon: features excellent resilience, great durability, and is easy to clean. The color selections are limitless, and it will accept stain-prevention treatment. It can generate static unless treated, and is the most expensive of the synthetic fibers. One example of nylon carpet is Stainmaster.

Olefin: does not absorb water or water-based stains. Olefin fibers are dyed with color before they are formed, so the color goes all the way through each fiber. Olefin is less resilient than nylon, but is also less expensive.

Howard County carpet

Polyester: has more resilience than olefin, but less than nylon. It resists fading and is more stain resistant than untreated nylon. It is generally less durable than nylon, but is also less expensive.

Wool: A natural fiber, wool is produced by sheering sheep. Wool's special characteristics make it a great choice for carpet flooring. It is naturally flame retardant and water resistant. It has a natural resilience due to the shape of each fiber. It is the most popular natural fiber, and is more expensive than synthetic fibers.

Frederick County Carpet

A new development in fiber construction is SmartStrand by Mohawk made from a type of polymer fiber. Not only can it stand up to almost any lifestyle but it is an advance in green flooring being made largely from naturally occurring sugars from corn. Producing SmartStrand uses 30% less energy and emits 65% less carbon than comparable carpets. More information on Stainmaster by Mohawk.

The construction of a carpet refers to the manner in which the carpet fibers are joined together. A woven carpet is created by interweaving yarns on a loom, creating a tightly joined floor covering. Tufted carpet is created when needles force tufts of fibers into a pre-woven fabric backing. Non-woven carpet is created by joining the yarn to a backing, usually with an adhesive. Most carpet floors (95%) are tufted; non-woven carpets are generally reserved for indoor/outdoor use.

Style
The style of a carpet affects its look, its feel, and its performance. The three main categories of carpet style are Uncut Pile, Cut Pile, and Cut/Uncut (which combines the first two styles).

Uncut Pile

The most familiar uncut pile carpet flooring is commonly known as Berber, which is named for the flecks of color that appear throughout many loop carpets. In uncut pile, the loops of fibers are left connected (uncut), which produces a uniform, nubby texture. Uncut pile carpet flooring is often used in family rooms and other high-activity areas, because this carpet style holds up very well under heavy use.

Cut Pile

Cut pile carpet flooring is the popular choice for soft, luxurious warmth. The loops of fibers are cut at the top, so that the ends of the yarn stand side by side. The durability is slightly reduced by cutting the fibers, but the aesthetic value and the softer touch is much appreciated by many.

Uncut/Cut Pile Carpet

Sometimes the two previous styles are blended together to make an uncut/cut pile carpet floor. Often, the differences in the two styles are used to create patterns and texture. A carpet of this style combination offers a blend of comfort and durability. This style of carpet floors also hides footprints well.

Stain Protection
The ability of a particular carpet to resist stains begins with the construction of it. Different fibers have different inherent levels of stain resistance, which sometimes depends upon the type of stain.

Beyond the fiber's natural ability to resist stains, a carpet floor can have additional stain resistance that is added during its creation.

Carroll County carpet stain protection
Added stain protection can be applied to the finished carpet flooring, or the yarn can be treated before being tufted into the carpet. Topical stain protection, applied to the surface of finished carpet floors adds static protection and basic stain resistance. Yarn treatment, where the yarn is treated before the carpet is formed, provides a greater degree of stain resistance.


With any carpet floor, prompt treatment of any potential stain is imperative.
