What is the best material choice for wall to wall?

The type of fiber used in a carpet plays a key role in how it feels and how it performs. There are two types, natural and man-made. Natural carpet is predominantly wool, but is more expensive, most carpets on the market are made from synthetic fibers, such as nylon or polypropylene and polyester. After wool, we would recommend a nylon wich provides a less expensive option than wool but still maintains durability and softness. Polypropelene also known as olefin tends to flatten and is not as resilient. Caroll Rug offers a wide selection of quality wall to wall from the finest manufacturers in the world.
