Nylon vs. polyester carpet

The type of fiber is one of the factors that determine the durability of carpet flooring. Nylon, a perennial favorite for many decades, is the most popular fiber today. Polyester is another fiber that homeowners favor. If you are looking for carpet in San Antonio, you?ve come to the right carpet store! We offer a wide selection of carpeting in both of these fibers and more. If you desire more convenient shopping, you can use our online visualizer and see the carpet in your space.

Nylon carpet

Nylon is the most durable, as well as the most popular type of synthetic flooring. It is resilient or able to bounce back after heavy electronics or furniture is removed. Further, nylon carpeting retains its original look years after installation. This carpet fiber is very absorbent, so it is treated in the factory for stain resistance.

Polyester carpet

Polyester carpeting, known for its bright and vibrant fade-resistant colors, is not as resilient as nylon. Therefore, it is less durable and better suited to low or moderate traffic areas of the home. But, unlike nylon, polyester is a hydrophobic fiber, so it repels liquid. In addition, since polyester is less expensive to produce than nylon, it is easier on the budget.
