The carpet we sell at Monarch Floor and Window Coverings are made of four different fibres:

Nylon: The vast majority of residential carpets are made of nylon. Nylon is an exceptionally durable fibre with good colour retention and stain resistance. It is also comfortable and cost-effective. Some nylon carpets are manufactured from fibres of a very small diametre, resulting in carpet that is very soft to the touch.

Polyester: Polyester has a very soft, comfortable texture and excellent stain resistance. It is a less costly fibre than nylon, but is not quite as durable.

Olefin (polypropylene): Olefin is a cost-effective fibre that is commonly used in the manufacturing of commercial carpets as well as some residential carpets. It is somewhat limited in terms of its design and application since it has a tendency to crush or mat.

Wool: Wool is an all-natural, environmentally-friendly product that feels very soft and luxurious. A well-constructed wool carpet will be quite durable, though wool is not as stain-resistant as some synthetic fibres. The cost of wool carpet is significantly higher than other fibres.
