A Legacy of Excellence

Founded in 1928, Karastan quickly earned a reputation for producing carpets that are not just floor coverings but works of art. Their commitment to quality begins with the selection of premium fibers and extends through every step of the manufacturing process. This dedication to excellence is evident in the final product.

The Fiber Choices

Karastan employs a variety of fibers to create their carpets, each offering unique qualities and advantages:

Wool: Timeless Luxury

Wool is a classic choice for Karastan carpets, known for its natural beauty, softness, and durability. Wool fibers have inherent stain resistance and are a great choice for adding warmth and elegance to any room. Karastan’s wool carpets are renowned for their comfort and timeless appeal.

Nylon: Resilient Performance

Nylon is a popular choice for Karastan’s carpets due to its exceptional durability and resilience. Solution-dyed nylon, in particular, ensures vibrant, fade-resistant colors that can withstand heavy foot traffic and maintain their beauty for years. This makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas and commercial spaces.

SmartStrand: Innovation Meets Sustainability

Karastan is also known for its use of SmartStrand fiber, an innovative and eco-friendly option. This fiber is made in part from renewable resources and offers outstanding stain resistance and softness. It’s a choice that balances performance and sustainability.

Triexta: Strength and Softness

Triexta is another fiber used by Karastan, valued for its strength, softness, and stain resistance. This versatile fiber can withstand the demands of everyday life while providing a luxurious feel underfoot.
