We make beautiful rugs in a variety of fibers to suit different tastes, needs and budgets. Your NIBA rug consultant can explain the unique properties of each fiber and guide you to the right decision for your design project.
PET
A “green” choice, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) rugs are made from recycled water bottles and other plastics which are melted down and spun into fibers. PET is a member of the polyester family of polymers. Suitable for both outdoor and indoor use, PET rugs are naturally stain-resistant and don’t require the chemical treatments used on most nylon rugs. Man-made PET fibers retain their colors and resist fading from sun exposure.
Polypropylene
Another “green” choice, polypropylene (PP) is a synthetic fiber derived from a thermoplastic polymer. PP is the second-most commonly produced plastic in the world.
One of the greatest benefits of this man-made fiber is that it can’t absorb any moisture. PP is also easy to clean, super strong and fade resistant which makes it ideal for floor coverings in outdoor spaces and high traffic areas.
