Nylon Carpets
Nylon carpets (also called polyamide carpets) are a popular synthetic carpet choice in the UK, known for their exceptional durability, resilience, and vibrant colour retention. Though they are typically more expensive than polypropylene, they offer a longer lifespan and a softer, more premium feel, making them ideal for family homes or high-traffic areas.
What Are Nylon Carpets?
Nylon carpets are made from man-made polyamide fibres, engineered to be:
Tough-wearing
Stain-resistant (especially when treated)
Soft underfoot (softer than polypropylene)
Colourfast and fade-resistant
Why Choose Nylon Carpets?
Key Benefits:
Durability Excellent resilience — bounces back from compression and foot traffic
Softness Feels more luxurious than polypropylene
Stain Resistance Often treated with stain protection (e.g. StainSafe or Teflon)
Colour Retention Dye bonds well — great for bold or light colours
Ideal for Families Long-lasting, easy to clean, pet-friendly
Hygienic Resistant to mould, mildew, and moisture absorption
Things to Consider
Typically more expensive than polypropylene
Not bleach-cleanable like polypropylene (requires milder cleaners)
Can generate static, though modern versions are often treated to reduce this
Not as naturally insulating as wool
