Solution Dyed FAQ

If you're in the market for new carpet, you've probably come across the term "solution dyed." But what does that mean, exactly? In this blog post, we'll explain what solution dyed carpet is and some of the benefits it can offer. Keep reading to learn more!

What is Solution Dyed Carpet?

Solution dyed is when dye is mixed in with the very liquid chemical solution the yarn is made from (such as acrylic, nylon and polyester) before it's put through the machine that makes it into thread. With the solution dyed method, the colour goes all the way through each fiber that makes up the woven tufts of carpet.

Solution dyed carpet is made from fibers that are pre-colored with pigment before they are tufted into the backing material. This means that the color of the carpet runs all the way through, from top to bottom. In contrast, most carpets on the market today are "space dyed." Space dying is a process in which colored yarn is spliced together to create a multi-colored effect. Because the color is only applied to the surface of the fiber, it will eventually fade with repeated cleaning or exposure to sunlight.

Benefits of Solution Dyed Carpet

One of the biggest benefits of solution dyed carpet is that it is incredibly durable. If you're looking for a carpet that will withstand years of heavy use, solution dyed carpet is a great option. The color goes all the way through each individual fiber, so there's no chance of fading or wear patterns developing over time. This makes solution dyed carpet an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like entryways and living rooms.  Plus, solution dyed carpet is often made from stain-resistant fibers, so it's easy to keep looking like new.

Another advantage of solution dyed carpet is that it resists staining better than other types of carpeting. This is because amateur cleaners often mistakenly treat all stains in the same way, regardless of their source. With solution dyed carpet, you can rest assured knowing that any spills will be much easier to clean up.

Finally, solution dyed carpet is also hypoallergenic and resistant to mold and mildew. This makes it a great choice for homes with pets or small children.

As you can see, there are many reasons why solution dyed carpet might be right for your home. If you're looking for a durable, stain-resistant option that will hold up well in high-traffic areas, solution dyed carpet could be a great choice for you. Thanks for reading!
