Special
Note About Berbers: Berbers are really big bulky
yarns that are either produced in a level loop, or multi-level
loop carpet construction. Although many Berbers are made out
of olefin fiber, some are made with nylon, or a blend of various
carpet fibers.
Carpet
Fibers
Nylon:
This is the most popular synthetic carpet fiber used today.
It offers tremendous value, performance, and ease of maintenance.
Nylon provides brilliant colors and hides soil and traffic
well.
Olefin:
This fiber is also called polypropylene, and is extremely
popular in Berbers and level loops. Olefin carpets are highly
stain, static, mold, and mildew resistant. They can be used
for indoor or outdoor carpets, including outdoor turf. Their
resistance to matting and crushing are not as good as a nylon
fiber.
Polyester:
Gives excellent color clarity with a soft feel to the carpet.
Lacks the durability of a nylon carpet.
Acrylic:
Has a real wool look and appearance. Used mainly in level
loops, bath mats, and some velvet carpet styles. Offers good
mold and mildew resistance with low static levels.
Wool:
Although somewhat expensive wool still offers great bulk,
performance, and an elegant look.
