Unimat are often asked what the difference is between vinyl rugs and polypropylene rugs. Are they the same? Are they different? How are they alike? What is the difference between them?
Now seriously, vinyl and polypropylene rugs are alike, but not the same. For you to understand us, they are not as different as a mother-in-law and a mother, but not as equal as a pair of twins.

That is why it is essential to know their similarities and differences to choose the right carpet for each place and place. So, we can choose the perfect carpet and leave the regrets for the vacation hotel.
Although we have already talked to you extensively in this blog about vinyl and polypropylene rugs, we are now going to focus on them from a comparative point of view.
What They Have In Common
Both types of rugs have several things in common. Namely:
- They are synthetic rugs
- They are made of PVC or polypropylene
- They are waterproof
- They are very resistant
- And they are cleaned with water

If you look closely, everything they have in common has to do with the raw material with which their fabric is braided, polypropylene, or PVC (polyvinyl chloride), in both cases.
These are polymers, synthetic materials whose genealogy we are going to leave for students of chemistry.
Suffice it to remember that they are materials that combine several virtues that, if each one separately is already very good, together they are the bomb. Like chocolate and churros, let’s go.
Those properties are malleability, impermeability, and resistance. You put it all together, put it in a blender, and what you get is a rug with many possible textures, super resistant, that can be wet and washed with water, and that lasts longer than the entire Star Trek saga.
