Triexta Carpet
Triexta carpet is becoming extremely popular in Australia.
It is a high-performing material ideal for family homes, so you can live worry-free with it. It is constructed out of partially renewable, high-performing sourced materials. It is ideal for busy households with plenty of foot traffic and kids running around. Triexta is an excellent soil-wearing, stain and fade resistance carpet. It also has an excellent feel, and you can clean it using only water.
A Performance Fibre
With built-in permanent stain resistance in each fibre’s core, it’s not a surface product. Other stain-resistant carpets, over time, generally succumb to over-use, break down and allow stains to seep through the initial protection.
Due to it being built into the core of each fibre, it won’t wear down or wash off, so almost all spills are cleanable using water. Plus, its spring-like fibres will bounce straight back after vacuuming into the same shape, regardless of usage.
The Healthier Option
Triexta is sourced and manufactured locally in Australia.
Innovative Triexta yarn is used. This is derived using, in part plant-based materials, and the good news is these are renewables. Treixta carpet is a breakthrough in technology that doesn’t need the involvement of topical stain removers or treatment and can be cleaned chemical free.
The carpet contains a polymer. Polymer uses around 30 per cent less energy to manufacture and, compared to nylon, releases 63 per cent fewer greenhouse emissions throughout the manufacturing process.
Cost
Regarding cost, if we compare it to nylon, Triexta is a better option.
They cost roughly the same to produce and distribute, but due to nylon having patents as it has been on the market for years, this tends to incur additional costs for manufacturers and suppliers.
Plus, with Tiextra being a higher quality, it will last you longer and need replacing less, so at this time, this is your best option for a family home.
Why Choose A Triexta Carpet?
In addition to what we have already mentioned above, with its incredible durability being a hydrophobic fibre, it is currently the only carpet on the market to resist pet stains. So not only can it withstand everyday uses and kids spilling drinks or food, but it’s pet friendly too.
Also, it is colourfast, so you get longevity, and it resists fading, so you get that as well as the softness to be used barefooted throughout the house.
With it being at a competitive price point, and its stain resistance plus its soft and luxurious feel and touch, it is an excellent family choice.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Triexta better than polyester carpets?
Triexta carpet is considered both more resilient and durable than polyester carpet. Although it is a relatively new material to come onto the market, industry experts who have put it through its paces consider its performance far superior to that of polyester.
Is Triexta carpet toxic?
In Australia, there is something called ‘The Red List’. This is a list you don’t want to be on. The list contains manufacturing ‘bad news’, whether these be primary materials or by-products of the manufacturing process. Such as:
- Added Formaldehyde
- Fluorocarbons
- PVC
- BPA
- Phthalates
- Or VOC’s
Suppose you are material on the ‘Red List Free certification’. In that case, you don’t have any of these to worry about, and that’s Triexta!

Wool and Triexta contain high levels of hypoallergenic properties. Triexta carpeting is naturally sourced and green, coming from corn sugar and is proven to help children with asthma.
Which is better, Triexta or nylon?
Triexta (PET) has the following advantages over nylon as it has:
- A higher degree of stain resistance
- A higher level of durability
- A softer and more aesthetic appeal than nylon
