Nylon happens to be the most popular synthetic carpet fibre. It offers tremendous value in terms of durability and maintenance. Nylon carpets may have brilliant bright colours. It can handle soiling and high traffic well.

Nylon is considered one of the strongest fibres 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.

Nylon carpets can be woven in the same way as a woollen carpet. They may be a loop pile or cut pile type. Since Nylon takes up colour 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.
