What is R2X Carpet?
R2X is a type of carpet treatment. It completely surrounds the fibers, protecting carpet yarns from top to bottom. Compare that to other treatments that only cover the carpet’s surface. It’s often applied during manufacturing but can also be applied after installation. So why treat your carpet with R2X?
Superior Stain Resistance
Plenty of manufacturers claim their carpet resists stains and makes cleaning a breeze. R2X makes that a reality for any carpet, especially Anso nylon. But how does it do it?
Durability
R2X also provides an extra layer of protection against fraying. This is one of the most common (and annoying) problems with carpet. Fraying damages the fibers, causes carpet to lose its shape, and fades the color over time. Yet, it also preserves the softness of carpet; R2X has no impact on the texture.
Designed to Last
Carpet that has been treated with R2X consistently lasts longer. Even better, R2X is designed to last the life of the carpet when applied during the manufacturing process. It provides years of protection, even in high traffic areas. Most carpet floors built with R2X are protected by warranties that last decades or even a lifetime.
Applying R2X
For some Shaw carpets (such as the Anso Nylon line), R2X is built into the carpet during the manufacturing process. This offers the most protection and ensures that it lasts the life of the carpet. However, any carpet floor can be treated with R2X.
