Exploring the Advantages of Synthetic Fiber Rugs: Viscose, Polyester, Polyacrylic, and Polypropylene
High-quality synthetic fiber rugs made of viscose, polyester, polyacrylic and polypropylene
As with clothing, it is possible to choose a carpet according to the materials used during manufacture, according to the use and the place of use. Will the rug be in heavy use or will it only be used for decorative purposes? Will it be used as a children’s rug, as an allergy rug or as an outdoor rug? Natural fiber rugs, such as sisal rugs, silk rugs or virgin wool rugs, of course have a long tradition and are considered to be of very high quality. That said, rugs made of synthetic fibres, viscose, polyester, polyacrylic and polypropylene, are also increasingly popular, as they offer many advantages.
A success story
The first synthetic fiber carpet appeared on the market at the end of the 20th century. While the first synthetic fiber carpets were made of cellulose fibers, the production of synthetic fiber carpets today uses several types of synthetic fibers that have different properties. Often, different synthetic fibers are combined with each other in order to bring together the best properties of each fiber. The reasons for the popularity of synthetic fiber carpets are manifold. For example, synthetic fiber rugs are generally less expensive than natural fiber rugs due to their ease of manufacture and availability. Depending on the synthetic fiber used, the customer can choose between different characteristics. Should the rug have a soft structure like wool? Should the carpet be easy to maintain and resistant to dirt? Should the carpet have an insulating effect? Or should it be suitable for allergy sufferers? Some synthetic fiber rugs even have several positive properties.
Which synthetic fiber rug to choose?
Viscose rug
In fact, a viscose rug is a mixture of natural fiber rugs and synthetic fiber rugs. The basic material is cellulose fiber, usually extracted from bamboo, eucalyptus, pine or spruce. The use of chemical processes makes it possible to obtain fibers that behave in a similar way to cotton, but which remain soft and shiny for longer, like silk. In addition, viscose rugs are easier to care for than cotton rugs and can therefore be used in a more varied way. If you are looking for an artificial substitute for an expensive silk rug, you are making the right choice by opting for a viscose rug.
Polyester carpet
Polyester is also present in nature. It is only in the laboratory that natural polyester is transformed into synthetic polyester through a chemical reaction. Polyester rugs enjoy great popularity due to their many possible uses. They are tear and scuff resistant, hardly absorb moisture, and come in the most imaginable and unimaginable shapes and colors. Whatever design you are looking for for your interior, you will certainly find what you are looking for in the category of polyester rugs. Thanks to their moisture-wicking properties and quick drying, polyester rugs are ideal as bathroom or kitchen rugs.
polyacrylic mat
Like polyester, polyacrylic mats, also called acrylic mats, are part of the family of man-made polymers. Polyacrylic synthetic fiber rugs are currently among the best sellers in the rug market. While a polyester rug already has many great properties, a polyacrylic rug adds a few more. High light fastness, high color quality, dirt resistance, heat insulation and moth immunity are just a few examples. Like viscose rugs, acrylic rugs have a fluffy structure similar to wool, which is why this type of synthetic fiber is preferred in the manufacture of clothing.
Polypropylene mat
Polypropylene fibers are another representative of the family of synthetic polymers. The greatest strength of polypropylene carpets lies in their water and dirt repellent effect. In addition, polypropylene is even more resistant to wear and tear than polyester, while being heat resistant and dampening impact noise. At normal room temperature, even fats and organic solvents cannot damage a polypropylene carpet. Polypropylene rugs are versatile wool rugs that can be used indoors as a living room rug, outdoors on the patio or when camping, as a rug in the children’s room or as a rug for homeowners. pets.
Who should choose a synthetic fiber rug?
Short-pile rugs made of synthetic fibers are ideal for allergy sufferers. Whether it’s a timeless patchwork rug in polyester or viscose or an elegant one-colour or multi-coloured designer rug in polypropylene and polyester, short-pile rugs made of synthetic fibers are recommended for people allergic to dust and animal hair, as it is generally tested against harmful substances and is not a comfortable haven for dust mites like some natural fiber carpets. Carpets made of easy-care synthetic fibers are also the right choice for pet owners or for children’s rooms due to their resistance.
Sustainability and Equity
Developments in the production of synthetic fibers used in the manufacture of clothing, footwear and carpets are rapid. Whereas in the past carpets made of synthetic fibers often had a rather bad reputation, as they were generally produced under poor ecological and economic conditions, today most modern carpets made of synthetic fibers can be recommended without a bad conscience. The theme of “sustainability” has also entered the field of carpet production. Therefore, when choosing a quality synthetic fiber carpet, attention should be paid to the place of production, the method of processing and the production under fair social conditions.
