10 Reasons To Buy Berber Carpet
We hear allot about Berber carpet but have you ever wondered
where they came from? Berber carpet was named after handmade
bulky wool that was textured and used by a tribe in North
Africa. The tribe was called the Berber tribe. Now isn't that
convenient. The Berber carpet of today follows much of the
tradition of the Berber tribe using flecked bulky yarns to
create beautiful carpets. Here are 10 reasons to buy Berber
carpet over other carpet choices.
1. Unique
The flecked looped yarns used to make Berber carpets provide
unique stylish carpets that have a uniqueness that makes a
Berber carpet easily identifiable.
2. Choice in Loop Size
You can get various loop sizes in Berber so there is a size for
every room and decor. From large rather knobby loops to small
tight loops. There are several industry choices including cut
and loop designs, multi level loops, and level loops.
3. Hypo-allergenic
Berber is the perfect choice for anyone with allergies or
children. It is made from wool so it is non toxic and non
allergenic and it stops bacterial growth right in its tracks.
4. Comfortable
The manufacturing process created wool loops that have millions
of air pockets in them so the carpet has a nice cushiony feeling
when you walk on it. It also has an insulation factor because of
the weave which helps regulate the temperature of the room.
5. Hardy
Berber is one of the most durable and easy carpets to clean.
Stains are easily lifted and it takes a lot of miles on the
carpet for it to show any wear. Berber is well known for its
longevity while still looking as new as the day it was
installed. It hardly ever shows footprints, and it doesn't show
the lines from the vacuum cleaner. The only thing you need to
watch is that you don't snag it and damage it.
6. More Affordable
Now there is a little irony here. Pure wool carpet and it's
cheaper than nylon, olefin, or any of the man made products
while at the same time outlasting them and looking new for much
longer. Berber is one of the most affordable choices in carpet
and yet it looks richer than many of the other choices available
to you.
7. Color Choices
Color choices are mixed and varied and include earthen or
neutral colors, dark colors, and even pastel colors. Not only
are there plenty of colors to choose from there are plenty of
patterns to choose from. Because of the way the carpets are made
depending on how the yarns are twisted and the pile density will
depend on the look and pattern of the finished rug. Berber
offers more choices than almost any other type of carpet.
8. Hide Sub floor
Because of the density of Berber carpet you can easily hide
irregularities in the sub floor without spending an arm and a
leg to repair or replace the sub floor. This makes Berber very
cost effective especially in older homes that are having the
rugs redone.
9. Variety of Grades
Just like other carpets you can choose a variety of grades which
determine how plush the carpet is. Berber is available in a
variety of grades and they even have a product designed to go
right over concrete.
10. Economical
