Fiber Options

Invista Antronฎ Legacy™ nylon, and Invista Antron Lumenaฎ solution-dyed nylon fibers begin with the four basic components of all Antron fibers: Type 6,6 polymer, fiber engineering, Invista chemistry and product certification. In addition, Invista engineers both of these brands for specific commercial performance requirements.

Antron Legacy nylon
Defies the effects of heavy traffic and soil.

High-traffic environments that are susceptible to heavy soiling, such as corporate offices, airports, and schools, require a carpet fiber that will stand up to the challenge. Antron Legacy provides unsurpassed soil resistance that keeps your carpet looking newer longer.

Antron Legacy fibers are engineered to minimize soil-trapping crevices, and are protected with patented DuraTech™ soil-resistance technology. Additionally, Antron Legacy fibers feature built-in antistatic protection to minimize shock.

Antron Legacy offers the broadest range of commercial carpet styles and textures available. In fact, because more carpet styles are made from Antron Legacy than from any other brand of carpet fiber, you can enjoy virtually unlimited design possibilities.

Antron Legacy nylon is the right choice if:
• The commercial space is a high-traffic area
• Soil is one of the biggest concerns
• Performance and styling flexibility are equally important

Plus, you're covered with:
• A 10-year abrasive wear warranty
• Life-of-carpet antistatic protection

Woven Carpet

For thousands of years the art of weaving has graced every textile material in the world.
This time proven method of making fabrics and rugs has also proven to be the highest standard for making carpet. The hand woven art has been replaced with electronically powered “loomcraft” and state-of-the-art computer technology, although the structural integrity has not changed. In the weaving process, pile yarns are intricately interlaced into the foundation, creating a structure whereby backing and face yarns become one.

Time has proven that woven carpets out perform any other carpet construction. Greater appearance retention, built in cushion properties, longer life cycles and our Lifetime Limited Warranty are why woven construction is unparalleled.

Lifetime Warranty
• Lifetime high tuft bind
• Lifetime dimensional stability
• Lifetime against edge ravel or zippering
• Lifetime against delamination
• Lifetime against pilling and fuzzing

Superior Appearance Retention
• Superior construction
• Interlaced components
• Controlled textures
• Inherent stability – no secondary backing
• Greater appearance retention and resiliency
• Built-in cushion properties

Environmental Impact
• Extending the life of carpet = less carpet to the land fill
• PVC free, chlorine free
• 4PCH no longer a factor
• Low VOC seam sealer
• CRI Green Label Certified
• Recyclable
• Exceeds industry standards

Lower Life Cycle Cost
• Woven construction extends the life of carpet
• The longer carpet lasts, the less it costs

Moisture & Maintenance Benefits
• Improves ability to remove spills
• Helps eliminate odor
