Performance

Performance defines how carpet will respond to every day wear and tear: how it will hold up to traffic, bounce back from stains and maintain its appearance for years to come. The Anso® brand family of nylon fibers is used to create carpets of exceptional performance. Anso nylon's performance features make it the unsurpassed choice for tough, resilient, durable carpet. Anso nylon is 20% tougher than other nylon carpet fibers. This means your carpet looks better and lasts longer when made with Anso nylon.

When it comes to carpet fiber, none delivers better performance than nylon.
Tests have shown that nylon is tougher and more resilient than any other carpet fiber available, including polyester and polypropylene. For long-lasting beauty and performance, nylon should be your first choice.

Anso nylon is tougher.
When you compare Anso nylon to other nylon carpet fibers, Anso nylon is approximately 20% tougher - a significant difference. And, the tougher the fiber, the more abrasion resistant it is which will contribute towards the prolonged beauty and performance of your carpet.

Anso nylon is more resilient.
Anso nylon is recognized as having the highest resilience of synthetic or natural carpet fibers. All staple Anso CrushResister® and Anso Caress® nylon carpets feature patented proprietary CrossBond® fiber technology that enhances twist-lock, providing even more resistance to crushing from foot traffic and more resistance to tip bloom and de-twisting.

Anso nylon is unsurpassed as a soil resistant fiber.
It's a fact that when it comes to soil resistance, the most significant factor is proven to be anti-soil treatments. In test after test, carpets resisted soil and also cleaned up better when the fibers were treated with an anti-soil treatment. All carpets made with any of the Anso family of nylon carpet fibers are required to be soil-resist treated.

Anso nylon is stain resistant.
Stain-resist treatment is what makes the difference in resisting the most common household stains. All residential carpets made with any of the Anso nylon family of carpet fibers are required to be stain-resist treated. We certify the stain-resist performance of every Anso brand style before we allow the carpet mill to put our label on the carpet.

Warranties are a great clue as to how the carpet should wear.
The Anso nylon family of brands offers comprehensive warranty coverage including texture retention, abrasive wear, soil and stain resistance warranties, ensuring that your carpet investment is well protected. See our Warranty Center for complete warranty information and details.
