Polypropylene Carpets – An Affordable Flooring Choice
Polypropylene carpets are an affordable and popular choice for flooring. They are made from synthetic polypropylene fibres, which can be coloured using the “solution dyed” process, similar to nylon fibres. This colouring method allows for a wide variety of vibrant colours to be available at an affordable price.
Here are some key features of polypropylene carpets:
Reduced Fading
Polypropylene fibres have good resistance to fading caused by sunlight exposure and ozone. This means that the colours of the carpets will remain vibrant and intact for a longer period, even when exposed to direct sunlight.
Excellent Colour Fastens
Like nylon carpets, polypropylene fibres can be dyed using solution dyeing. This ensures that the colour is locked into the fibre during the manufacturing process, resulting in excellent colour fastness. Polypropylene carpets will maintain their original colour and appearance for a long time, even when facing heavy foot traffic.
Anti Static Properties
Polypropylene carpets are naturally anti-static, so they do not easily generate static electricity. This feature is particularly beneficial in areas with electronic equipment or in homes where static electricity buildup can be a nuisance.
Affordability
Polypropylene is a relatively inexpensive material, making polypropylene carpets more budget-friendly compared to other options. The easy extrusion process of polypropylene fibres allows for cost-effective manufacturing, resulting in affordable prices for customers.
Easy Maintenance
Polypropylene carpets are relatively easy to clean and maintain, and they are resistant to staining and can be spot cleaned with ease. Additionally, the fibres are moisture-resistant, which helps prevent the growth of mould and mildew.
Allergen Resistance
Polypropylene carpets have low absorbency, which means they are less likely to trap allergens such as dust mites, pollen, or pet dander. This can be beneficial for individuals with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.
