Nylon is the most common carpet fiber, largely due to its strength. Nylon has the longest lifespan of any type of carpeting, making it a great choice for high-traffic areas. However, that strength comes at a cost: Nylon is also the most expensive carpet fiber.<\/p>\n
The one major drawback to nylon carpeting is that it has virtually no natural stain resistance. You\u2019ll need to pay extra to for a stain-resistant coating or chemical treatment. <\/p>\n

Nylon carpeting is more expensive than polyester. The cost for the carpeting alone, not including materials and installation, ranges anywhere from $8 to $45 per square yard, depending on quality. Padding and installation each add between $2 and $6 per square yard to the total price. <\/p>\n
In most cases, budget $25 to $30 per square yard (approximately $8 to $10 per square foot) for the entire project. That includes carpeting, padding and professional installation. At that price point, you\u2019ll be purchasing a high-quality nylon carpet.<\/p>\n

The 1970s gave polyester a pretty bad name. In those days, polyester carpeting was cheaply made and prone to sufficient wear and tear. However, technological improvements have greatly increased the durability of polyester carpeting. In particular, a new variety known as PET polyester is closer to nylon in strength. <\/p>\n
Still, even improved varieties of polyester won\u2019t last as long as nylon carpeting. The material is simply not as durable. However, polyester is highly stain-resistant and fade-resistant. <\/p>\n
Polyester carpeting generally costs anywhere from $6 to $15 per square yard for materials alone. Padding and installation run an extra $1 to $3 each per square yard each. All totaled, expect to pay anywhere from $8 to $22 per square yard for the project. <\/p>\n
