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.
