Know Your Carpet Fibers: Polyester and Nylon

Engineered Floors

Understand how they work with your customer’s lifestyles

Our Purecolor fiber system is more widely known within our polyester carpets, representing the majority of our soft surface offerings at Engineered Floors. Polyester fibers are inherently stain-resistant and provide a pillow-like softness. Originally, polyester fiber had style and design limitations due to a variety of reasons. However, at Engineered Floors, our proprietary twistX technology uses a patented process delivering enhanced styling capabilities resulting in new, unique visuals never before seen in polyester offerings. By utilizing a blend of multiple fiber components, we can also achieve a high bundle size, meaning there is more carpet and higher density in each square yard, resulting in a more durable fiber without sacrificing softness.

We also offer a limited collection of Nylon carpets; over the year's nylon has established a reputation for durability, making it ideal for high traffic and, more specifically, for commercial applications. Our residential Nylon carpet offerings are manufactured with our proprietary PureColor fiber system, where the dye color permeates one hundred percent of the carpet fiber. This process produces a carpet with unbelievable stain, fade, and soil resistance.

PureColor carpets are manufactured using the most environmentally responsible processes in the industry. Our state of the art facilities uses 87% less water in the making of our carpet. Because we do not use traditional piece dying processes to color our carpet, there is no need to waste millions of gallons of this precious resource every year. Our PureColor solution-dyed carpets are also made using 42% fewer greenhouse emissions. ❚
