What are the differences between carpet fiber types?
| |
Continuous Filament Nylon (CFN): |
| |
• |
Continuous filament nylon starts out as one long continuous strand before it’s made into yarn and tufted into carpet. There will be no piling on the carpet surface with this type of fiber. |
| |
Staple Nylon: |
| |
• |
each fine filament starts out as a short strand about 7 inches long before it is spun into yarn and then tufted into carpet. As the short, unsecured pieces of staple nylon come loose from the yarn pile you get pilling on the surface of the carpet. |
