Solution Dyed FAQ

Is Solution Dyed Nylon Carpet Any Good?

When it comes to choosing new carpet, there are a lot of factors to consider. What style do you want? What color should you choose? But one of the most important decisions you'll need to make is what type of fiber you want. These days, nylon is one of the most popular fibers on the market. But is solution dyed nylon (SDN) any good? Let's take a closer look.

What Is Solution Dyed Nylon Carpet?

Solution dyed nylon is a type of synthetic carpet fiber that is made by dyeing the yarn before it is tufted into the carpet backing. This is different from traditional methods, where yarn is tufted first and then dyed after the fact. SDN carpet usually has a secondary backing made from either woven polypropylene or PVC-coated polyester.

The Advantages of Solution Dyed Nylon Carpet

There are a few key advantages that solution dyed nylon has over other types of carpet fibers. First, because the yarn is dyed before it is tufted, the color goes all the way through the fiber. This makes it more resistant to fading and staining than other types of carpets. In fact, many manufacturers offer extended stain warranties on their SDN carpets.

Another advantage of solution dyed nylon carpets is that they tend to be very strong and durable. This makes them ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms and family rooms, as well as for businesses and commercial spaces. Many SDN carpets come with lengthy wear warranties from the manufacturers.

The Disadvantages of Solution Dyed Nylon Carpet

Of course, solution dyed nylon isn't perfect. One downside is that it can be more expensive than other types of carpeting. Another potential issue is that, because the yarn is dyed before it's tufted, any mistakes in the manufacturing process are extremely difficult (if not impossible) to correct. This means that if there are any flaws in the carpet, you're stuck with them.
