“KANGA” is a family name for a series of patented polyurethane attached cushion carpets.
Carpet manufactured with polyurethane attached backing/cushion has stood the test of time beautifully, acquiring a remarkable reputation for performance and comfort.

Insulation for feet on a cold tile or concrete floor.
Making a room more comfortable, more inviting to sit on the floor (e.g. children’s playroom).
You can easily install Kanga attached cushion carpets yourself.

Kanga helps absorb the punishment of foot traffic that causes your carpet’s face fiber to mat and crush. The result is that your carpet will look better for longer.
Resistant to most household cleaning supplies. Its moisture resistance makes the clean-up of spills much easier than with conventional carpet.
Resists mold, mildew or bacteria, making it an excellent choice for any damp or below grade installations.
“Easy Release” outer skin layer allows for a cleaner removal with less of the crumbly mess left by conventional type cushions.
They are incredibly light, making them easy to handle. With a few simple, inexpensive tools and double-face tape you can complete a beautiful, quality installation in no time.

Carpet is commonly made in widths of 12 feet (3.7 m) and 15 feet (4.6 m) in North America.
Fixed to a floor over a cushioned underlay (pad) using nails, tack strips, adhesives, or occasionally decorative metal stair rods.
Fibres are chosen for durability, appearance, ease of manufacture, and cost.
In production, the dominant materials are polyamides (nylons) and polypropylene with an estimated 90% of the commercial market.

Is one of the most common materials in the construction of carpets.
Nylon can be printed easily and has excellent wear characteristics.
Due it’s excellent wear-resistance, nylon is widely used in industrial and commercial carpeting.

Commonly used to construct berber carpets.
Commercial grade styles wear very well, making them very suitable for areas with heavy foot traffic such as offices.
Polypropylene carpets are known to have good stain resistance, but not against oil-based agents.

The polyester known as “PET” is used in carpet manufacturing for both spun and filament constructions.
When the price of raw materials for many types of carpet rose in the early 2000s, polyester became more competitive.
Has good physical properties and is inherently stain-resistant because it is hydrophobic.
A disadvantage is it tends to crush or mat down easily. It is typically used in mid- to low-priced carpeting.
Another polyester, “PTT”, also called Sorona or 3GT (Dupont) or Corterra (Shell), is a variant of PET. These carpet fibers have resiliency comparable to nylon.

A synthetic material first created by the Dupont Corporation in 1941 but has gone through various changes since it was first introduced.
In the past, acrylic carpet used to fuzz or “pill” easily. This happened when the fibres degraded over time and short strands broke away with contact or friction.
New types of acrylics have been developed to alleviate some of these problems.
Acrylic is colourfast, washable, and has the feel and appearance of wool, making it a good rug fabric.
