To better understand this option and what you can expect from it, we will share some facts about this carpet style in today's post, so read along with us now.

Berber carpet, and you

Berber carpet is known for various appearances, primarily with loops of fiber woven together instead of being cut. Named after the North African Berber tribe who made rugs in this fashion, some specific attributes define Berber flooring.

  • Multiple fibers – You will find Berber made of olefin, nylon, and wool, with some blended fiber options also available. They provide a wealth of benefits, including stain resistance and durability.
  • Low maintenance – You will not have to work too hard to keep these floors looking new. Vacuum occasionally and have them professionally cleaned every six to twelve months.
  • Affordable options – While solid wool and nylon rugs are on the higher end of the Berber line, there are plenty of affordable options for your home.
