Nylon Carpets

Nylon happens to be the most popular synthetic carpet fiber. It offers
tremendous value in terms of durability and maintenance. Nylon carpets may
have brilliant bright colors. It can handle soiling and high traffic well.
Nylon is considered one of the strongest fibers after wool for the purpose
of floor covering. Additional benefits are that nylon is abrasion resistant,
crush resistant, and stain resistant. Special care is taken to add the
carbon element so as to avoid static formation. To top it all, they are
always less expensive than the wool or silk carpets.
Designs
Nylon carpets can be woven in the same way as a woolen carpet. Though still
the most common type are the tufted carpets. They may be loop pile or cut
pile type. Since nylon takes up color well, the patterns created are bright
and detailed. Plain nylons are quite in vogue for wall to wall coverings.
Tufted carpets require latex coating on the backside and a secondary backing
to hold and secure the tufts.
