Polyester is extremely fade resistant, provides excellent resistance to stains and provides an excellent choice of colours.
However, like polypropylene, it does have poor resilient properties and is susceptible to flattening and matting in main traffic areas. This can be overcome to some extent by buying denser or tighter piles with a more twisted yarn.
Polyester is manufactured in staple fibre only and while it’s not as durable as nylon, it’s quite durable and resists wear.Available in a wide selection of textures and colours. It is non-allergenic, sheds moisture and resists moths and mildew at a lower cost than wool or nylon.
While it’s susceptible to pilling, shedding and oil-based stains, it otherwise cleans fairly easily and is enhanced by stain treatments.
Our Everstrand ranges from Mohawk Industries are made from PET fibres or ” Polyethylene terephthalate ” which is made from recycled plastic bottles, due to the higher levels of consumer waste and some customers willingness to buy recycled greener products these fibres are rapidly gaining market share throughout the industry.
