EnduraStranTM Fibers
Our rugs are made from premium EnduraStran nylon for long-lasting durability. EnduraStran nylon is fade-resistant, antimicrobial, and commercial grade tested for heavy traffic and long life. It’s designed to clean easily with water, eliminating the need for harmful chemicals often found in fabric and upholstery cleaning products, and is engineered to withstand high-traffic areas like living rooms, hallways, and entryways.

What’s so great about Nylon?
Nylon is one of the most durable textile yarn filaments available for commercial use, with unparalleled color fastness and long-lasting durability.
Synthetic nylon also possesses unbeatable moisture resistance and UV fade resistance compared to other yarns like wool, cotton, and jute. High moisture resistance and wicking ability also mean that nylon is naturally bacteria-resistant, denying airborne pathogens an easy place to stick. It also makes for a much easier yarn to clean, rejecting pet dander, dust, and dirt.
Whether in use as a military parachute cord, braided as a lariat rope for campion calf ropers, or woven into a high-traffic area rug, nylon is the only choice for products that must go the extra mile.
