There are major advantages constructing a carpet with this outstanding fiber.
Fiber construction
The patented AltoChroma™ shape actually prevents fibers from matting, losing resiliency or staining. Each yarn contains three threads twisted together with a virtually limitless array of colors.
Color, Color, Color
AltoChroma™'s sophisticated palette of more than 50 colors has been created by a team of Italian and American designers. It includes a striking array of metallic fibers. Its unique triple-twist enables a virtually infinite array of color combinations
Chemistry
AltoChroma™ is nearly impossible to stain because it has virtually no dye receptors. Stain resistance is actually built into the fiber and will not wear or clean away.
AltoChroma™ routinely outperforms other branded fibers in head-to-head tests of oil, markers, lipstick, bleach and other standard staining agents. Test results are available upon request.
Several cleanings have failed to completely remove a coffee stain on the brand-x side. The AltoChroma™, of course, looks brand new.
After several thousand cycles of a common wear and tear test, the brand-x side shows matting and separation of fibers. The AltoChroma@trade;, of course looks brand new.
