Carpet is made with Type 6,6 nylon, the strongest carpet fiber for a more durable and long-lasting carpet. Type 6,6 nylon features a unique molecular structure which provides the carpet with superior resiliency over other types of carpet fiber such as polyester and polypropylene. The premium quality of type 6,6 also protects against fiber loss from high foot traffic and assures you superior appearance retention and outstanding fade resistance. Beaulieu & Southwind carpet mills use Stainmaster fiber.

The fibers in Stainmaster carpet are different. Their multidimensional fibers are specially designed for beauty and performance to create the stunning carpet styles that are found in Stainmaster.

The lotus flower, Symbol of Beauty & Purity
So how do you protect the beauty of these specially designed fibers from soil and stains - without sacrificing the soft luxury and style of stainmaster carpet? The self-cleaning quality found on the leaves of the lotus flower became our inspiration.

designed LotusFX™ Fiber Shield technology makes it difficult for soil to stick to the carpet fibers, helping to keep carpets up to 30% cleaner and lasting up to 50% longer than other stainmaster carpets.

Most spills bead up on the carpet fiber's surface making it difficult for them to penetrate. Together this works to make stainmaster carpet easy to maintain and allows the carpet to keep its stylish beauty year after year.
