Carpet for Heavy Traffic Areas
Berber is Better

1. Economical – one of the most affordable carpet styles . Can be pure wool or a mix of synthetics
2. Durablity – one of the hardest wearing carpet types. Has a much longer life span than most carpets. Doesn’t show wear quickly because of the inbuilt resilience from the looped design. The carpet of choice for offices because of its hard wearing properties. For high traffic areas and day to day use a Berber carpet can be a great choice. The individual fibres can be thin or thick , the thicker the yarn the stronger the loop and the sturdier the carpet.
3. Comfortable – Berber has a built in cushioning from its looped structure, air is trapped within the loops and that makes it a very comfortable underfoot.
4. Soundproofs the room – noise is absorbed by a carpet. Your room is quietend and warmed because of the absorbing properties.
5. Hypo- allergenic? Berber has a reputation as allergy friendly because the looped weave structure traps dust dander, pollen and dustmite particles easily, thus keeping them out of the air.
6. Berber has a reputation for natural stain resistance because of the tight looped weave it is easier to mop up a spill and it is more difficult for a stain to penetrate the carpet fibres.
Possible Berber Disadvantages
1. Snags can cause a run in carpet. Care with pets claws, childrens toys
2. Dust and dander, pollen and dustmite particles that are trapped in the carpet loops can be difficult to remove a vacuum with strong suction is required to clean berber. It should be vacuumed frequently.
3. Do not use a beater bar on the vacuum. It can cause snags to the loops and create runs in the carpet.
