Chrome Breakaway Polyester Carpet by Shaw is a 25-ounce carpet. This basic carpet is beautiful and has R2X technology. In other words, it’s quality at an inexpensive price. Polyester carpeting is inherently stain-resistant. When it comes to stains, it outperforms both nylon and wool. Additionally, polyester carpeting is very soft and significantly less expensive than either nylon or wool. Because of the price advantage, we will tend to see polyester used in newly built homes. You will also see it in existing homes going on the market.

Previously polyester carpets had poor resiliency and tended to crush under heavy traffic areas. Well, not anymore. Through the years technology has improved the performance of polyester carpets. It is much more durable than the old generations of polyester. Also, polyester comes in much more vibrant colors.

R2X is Shaw’s industry-leading stain and soil resistance technology. R2X chemistry is molecularly bonded during the manufacturing process. As a result, it provides long-term stain resistance.  This technology won’t wear off even after repeated cleaning. Spills and messes easily stay on top of the carpet fiber like a bubble. This gives you time to simply wipe away the mess.

Green Label Plus

Today, indoor air quality is an important environmental consideration. Especially since we spend approximately 90 percent of our time indoors. In 1992, The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) launched its Green Label Plus Program. They tested carpet, padding, and adhesives to identify products with very low emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). In the 2000s, CRI launched the Green Label Plus Programs for Carpet, Adhesives, and Cushion. These enhanced programs by setting a higher standard for indoor air quality. This helped customers identify products with low emitting VOCs. Using scientifically established standards, the Green Label Plus Program symbolizes commitment. Look for the CRI Green Label Plus logo when shopping for flooring.
