Why Nylon?

There are significant advantages to using a carpet made from nylon versus a natural fabric such as wool. In today’s homes, you are more likely to see a nylon carpet than one made from other fabrics because of its durability and versatility. Below are a few benefits of using nylon carpet.

DURABILITY
As a man-made fabric, nylon is close to perfect. It is one of the most durable products available on the market today and is frequently used in various consumer products, including floor coverings. Its durability makes it one of the most commonly used materials for carpets, both indoors and out.

Nylon holds up very well to weather and high traffic so it is frequently used on outdoor porches and patio areas as well as high traffic areas. Its durability make nylon carpet a good investment for your floors because you will get longer and more usage out of it. Nylon carpets or rugs are far less likely to stain or retain moisture so you will have less mold or mildew – a significant plus for asthma and allergy sufferers.

INVESTMENT
Given its durability as a carpet, nylon carpeting is a great investment and bet for your home or office. It can be used or easily installed anywhere. Unlike natural fabrics, it retain its shape, color and fibers far better and longer than natural fabrics. It is also a great investment for children’s play and living areas.

Unlike natural fabrics, nylon carpets are much easier to clean and maintain. You will not be spending a lot of money hiring professional cleaners. Nylon carpets can be easily hosed down and soaped up with mild detergents. There is little need for deep cleaning and scrubbing out stains.

QUALITY
The nylon rugs of today are not yesterday’s rugs. Dyes to color the rug are actually used prior to the rug’s weaving, making the dye far better than before. As a result, it is a better quality rug with its dyes remaining richer in color. It can handle direct sunlight better than older nylon carpets.

Overall, nylon carpet users find themselves big advocates. Its durability and high quality make it a great investment in flooring and, without a doubt, one of the best options available today.
