Carpet delivers both warmth and comfort to a home. However, many homeowners are concerned about the effects of foot traffic, spills, and pets on the durability of this flooring. SmartStrand™ carpet is an innovative option made from special polymer fibers, which are more resilient than traditional ones. If you’re unfamiliar with this material, here’s more information about why you should choose it for your space.

What Makes SmartStrand™ Unique?

1. It Doesn’t Stain

Stains can set in as soon as a spill or pet accident occurs on traditional fabric. While scrubbing and steam-cleaning will typically remove stains, there’s a chance that discoloration will linger.

SmartStrand is chemically treated, which prevents stains from setting in. Most spills can be easily cleaned with plain water, which eliminates the need for expensive products or maintenance. 

2. It’s Durable

Carpet fibers in high-traffic areas wear out over time.

On the other hand, SmartStrand fibers retain their texture even when they’re faced with continuous friction and abrasion. This option is also resistant to fading, which can be an issue for homes blessed with a lot of natural light. This will allow you to enjoy your carpeting for years to come.

3. It’s Soft

SmartStrand doesn’t sacrifice comfort and softness for durability. This has much to do with its innovative construction.

Since the fibers don’t become compacted from heavy use, the carpet will remain plush and soft for longer. That means your flooring will be as comfortable as the day you bought it for several years.
