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.
