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.
