Synthetic versus natural carpet fibers ? what is the difference?

As you search for the perfect carpet flooring, you will find synthetic and natural fibers, each of which has various characteristics and benefits. In today's post, we will look at the specific differences between the two, as one may be a better fit than the other for your home.

Do you need synthetic or natural carpet?

If eco-friendliness is important to you, natural carpeting is undoubtedly the best choice. These fibers, such as wool, seagrass, and sisal, grow naturally and are not ?created? as synthetic fibers are.

Natural products contain no VOCs (volatile organic compounds), are biodegradable, and offer some of the most beautiful colors. Wool, in particular, is heat resistant, inhibits the growth of mold and mildew, and is incredibly comfortable.

Machine-made synthetic fibers account for about 97% of the carpeting industry and offer benefits such as stain resistance, easy cleaning and maintenance, and affordable product selections. Nylon, the most popular synthetic carpeting material, is highly durable, offering years of service even under heavy daily use.
