Special
Note: Berbers are really big bulky yarns that are either
produced in a level loop, or multi-level loop construction.
Most berber carpets are made from olefin fibers, or a blend
of various carpet fibers. |
Brief Overview of Carpet Fibers
- Nylon: This
is by far the most popular synthetic carpet fiber used
in carpet 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 in indoor or outdoor carpets, including outdoor
turf. Olefin carpets do not resist matting and crushing
as well as carpets made of nylon fibers.
- 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.
