Carpet Fiber Triexta

One reason to choose mohawk s triexta carpet fiber option is its generous warranty coverage.

Carpet fiber triexta.

The primary reason for triexta s high level of stain resistance is that the fiber is hydrophobic meaning that it does not absorb moisture. Some would say that there is not enough difference between polyester and triexta to merit distinction. That said based on all evidence from existing carpets triexta does seem to be of equivalent durability to a same grade nylon carpet which means both are likely to be equally resistant. Triexta carpet is engineered to resist stains not on its coating but within its very fiber.

Triexta is much newer and it s simply impossible to say a triexta based carpet can last 30 years or more since the fiber itself didn t exist that long ago. The triexta carpet was totally cleaned with just hot water extraction. Nylon has been used in carpeting since the mid 1950s so it has several decades of use to support its reputation of durability.

To prove its point mohawk industries let 10 large zoo animals and 43 000 zoo visitors trample on smartstrand for two weeks. The difficulty in making a true comparison between the two fibers lies in triexta s relative youth. Triexta has actually been used in the clothing industry longer than it has been used in the carpet industry in the clothing industry triexta uses the tag line dry fit to reflect the non absorbent properties of the fiber. Triexta has been primarily limited to the residential market but may soon enter the commercial market.
