nylon carpet

Resilient floor covering

Nylon carpet is carpeting made from nylon fibers, valued for its durability, stain resistance, and resilience under heavy foot traffic.

It dominates residential and commercial flooring markets: We went with nylon carpet for the basement because it holds up better.

The synthetic fibers can be dyed in virtually any color and resist crushing better than most alternatives.
