What Is Polypropylene Carpet?

Polypropylene is a synthetic fibre used in carpet manufacturing. Manufacturers can use it in several carpet constructions and pile styles.

Some ranges also use solution dyed polypropylene. In these products, manufacturers add colour during the fibre production process.

Always compare the specifications of each range. Grading, pile construction and performance can vary between products.

Where Can You Use Polypropylene Carpet?

Polypropylene carpet can suit bedrooms, living areas and other residential spaces. The right application depends on the grading of the selected carpet.

Some products also carry ratings for stairs or heavier residential use. Check the individual specifications before choosing carpet for a busy area.

Polypropylene Carpet Colours & Styles

Choosing Carpet for Busy Areas

Fibre type alone does not determine carpet performance. Construction, density and grading also play an important role.

Always check the manufacturer's residential rating before choosing carpet for hallways, stairs or busy family areas.
