Lowe’s Stainmaster Nylon 6,6 – Carpet Buying Guide 2026

Carpet Buying Guide – Stainmaster Brand Update

The Stainmaster® brand, well-known for it’s Nylon 6,6 fiber, was recently purchased by Lowe’s. Why? Personally, I think this is just a sneaky sales tactic designed to con homeowners into buying carpet from them. Consumers have other options.

I never recommend buying new carpet from Lowe’s, Home Depot or Empire Today. But from now on, the only way to purchase new carpet with the Stainmaster® brand name, is to buy it at Lowe’s. They have spent a lot of money to buy the Stainmaster brand.

The good news is you don’t have to buy carpet from Lowe’s to get the exact same benefits that Stainmaster Nylon 6,6 is so well-known for.

Stainmaster brand carpet has always been made with the Antron® Nylon 6,6 fiber.

Carpet Samples

The same exact Nylon fiber known as Antron Nylon 6,6 and is available at other local carpet retailers under different names. It’s the same fiber, manufactured by the same fiber company, but it just doesn’t have the Stainmaster® brand name attached to it.

So, you don’t have to shop for carpet at Lowe’s just because they bought the Stainmaster® brand name. You can still buy new carpet made from Nylon 6,6 at many local carpet stores and enjoy all the same benefits without having to pay more for the Stainmaster® brand name.

So don’t buy Stainmaster brand carpet at Lowe’s, choose new carpet made with the Nylon 6.6 fiber at a locally-owned carpet store near you!

Watch out for new TV advertising from Lowe’s about Stainmaster® Brand Carpet.

I’m sure Lowe’s has a big advertising game plan on its way to try to convince homeowners to buy Stainmaster Branded Carpet now that they own the Stainmaster brand name. My advice? Don’t fall for their advertising sales gimmicks. Buy from a local flooring store instead.
