Berber carpet in a Pawtucket, RI home

What is Berber carpet?


If you are looking for carpeting and have come across Berber, you may have questions. At Massud & Sons Floor Covering, we have answers.

Berber is the name of a North African tribe that had a distinctive way of weaving. Instead of cut loops, the loops are left intact, creating a loop texture to this soft surface. It was initially light-colored with dark flecks in it.

Traditional & modern


The Berber comes in traditional and modern designs. These are distinguished by different knotting patterns in the carpet, dyes, and weaving. They consist of plain color and are low priced and durable. They can also consist of varying colors, including bright ones. Traditional Berbers are made of natural materials instead of the modern version you see in industrial areas. The Berber can consist of nylon, wool, or olefin, or a combination of nylon and olefin. Mostly, it is the fiber that determines the cost of the Berber.

The Berber is a very durable material because of its looped strength fiber. Also, partly from the fiber of nylon that is used in them. It’s effortless to care for. So maintenance options are many when it comes to carpet care.
