Synthetic versus natural carpet fibers – what’s the difference?


As you search for the perfect carpeting for your home, you'll be faced with the decision to choose either natural or synthetic fibers, so it pays to know a little something about how they differ. In today's post, we will discuss that in more detail, so read along for the information that will serve you well.

Take your time finding the perfect floor covering


All-natural flooring fibers are as they sound. They are made of materials found in nature, and wool is a commonly available example of natural carpet fiber.

Synthetic materials are those that are manufactured, with specific attributes built into the pieces for a purpose. For instance, some brands add outstanding stain protection that cannot be washed or worn off, and others provide hypoallergenic fibers for the perfect flooring for allergy sufferers.

Whether natural or synthetic, each fiber has specific attributes and characteristics created to serve particular households. Finding the perfect option for yours is simply a matter of matching your preferences and requirements with materials that satiate the need, so be sure to stop by our showroom and see what your available options are and how they can serve you today.
