What is Berber carpet?


So you are in the market for a new carpet, and you've come across Berber carpet. Just what is it? You may have heard of it and its benefits to homeowners. Why is it so popular? Let’s answer below.

Berber carpet is a great choice


The name Berber comes from a North African tribe that had a particular way of weaving. It was, initially, a light carpet with dark flecks of color throughout it. They didn't cut the loops but left them intact, creating a loop texture that makes a unique flooring quality.

Various fibers can be made into a Berber carpet. From wool to nylon, to olefin, to a combination of olefin and nylon, you have many choices. Of course, the cost of the fiber determines the cost of the carpet. However, it is generally an affordable carpet to buy.

Berber carpeting is very durable due to its looped strength. Not only that, but nylon is also a very highly durable fiber. It's easy to care for. You have many options for maintenance to keep the Berber beautiful.
