Berber Carpet

Berber carpets are named after a hand made bulky wool that was textured and used by a tribe in North Africa: the Berber tribe. The Berber carpet that is used even today follows the same tradition of the tribe by using flecked bulky yarns to create a beautiful carpet. Berber carpets are generally used in the more casual areas with more traffic, like a family room. Some frieze or cut-pile Berber carpets are more stylish and may be used in more formal areas.

• Berbers limit footprints and vacuum tracks in informal areas.
• Berbers can have thicker yarns than other level loop pile carpets for high durability. These loops can retain dirt and may be damaged from snags.
• Berbers come in expensive wool fibres or less expensive nylon, olefin, or nylon-polyester fibres.
• There are several loop sizes with Berber carpets, from the large knobbly loops to small and tight loops. There are several choices as well, that include cut and loop designs, multiple level loops, and even level loops.
• The air pockets in the loops give the carpet a nice cushioned feel when you walk across it. They also offer an insulation factor, which helps to regulate the temperature of the room.
• Berber is easy to lay.
