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 & crushing are not as good as 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, & an
elegant look. |
