What is the most popular type of carpet?

Nylon cut-pile is still the most popular residential carpet in Canada. It balances durability, softness, and stain resistance, and every major mill (Shaw, Mohawk, Beaulieu) offers it across price points.

Behind nylon, the top choices in Ottawa homes are:

• Triexta (SmartStrand) for stain-prone households with pets and kids
• Polyester for soft feel at a budget price
• Berber loop for basements and rec rooms
• Wool for premium, long-life bedrooms and offices

Nylon stays the safe default if you are not sure – it suits almost any room.
