As an installer, I look for good solid rows in the manufacturing process.
As a home owner, be aware of pattern match when buying Berber. and be sure to seal the edges to be seamed with latex edge dressing.
---- Berber by definition means a multi colored carpet. Most often when people say Berber they mean a looped carpet. Loop carpets are most commonly in nylon and olefin fibers. Nylon has a softer feel but isn't usually seen multi colored. If you are looking for a looped carpet with a pattern, nylon is a good choice since nylon is a very strong. Olefin loop carpets are very inexpensive. Often they are mixed with a small amount of nylon because olefin fiber is hard to dye. Made in a dense level loop they are one of the most durable styles. They are often available in 12' and 15' widths for larger rooms. One last thing to think about and this doesn't often happen in a well constructed carpet. If a strand of carpet is pulled, it can leave a row bare. This is a very hard fix and often cannot. This happens from pets and at the seams from the vacuum. As long as you keep and pulled loops cut, it is unlikely to happen; still it can and is something to consider. Shorter loops help as well as rooms that do not have seams.
Berber is a type of wooven carpet. It is not very sturdy or durable unless it is 100% wool or 100% nylon. It is usually used for outdoor carpeting. Like regular carpets, it comes in a variety of colors and textures.
The main difference between Berber carpet and regular carpet is the durability of the carpet. It was originally designed for commercial use due to it's durability, but has been redesigned and become more stylish for use in homes.

There are lots of good carpet cleaners on the market, and they will all say pat or scrub lightly. What they don't tell you is to never pour the cleanser directly onto the carpet. That wets the carpet backing and the dyes on that will wick up through the carpet fiber. And you'll never get rid of that stain!

The real truthBerber is not a type or style of carpet. It refers to the little specs of another color or colors, called berber fleck Berber can be either, cut pile, or loop pile construction.Mostly found in loop pile construction, and over the years, loop pile carpets have been referred to as "berber" carpets, when in fact they my not be berber at all, but a solid color loop pile.What distinguishes Berber carpet from other loop carpets is that Berber has different sized loops. There is no such thing as a cut pile Berber. All Berber carpets are loop pile, and the loops are different sizes. The yarn used to make them has different colors, so the carpet has specks of different colors. Most Berbers have the loops engineered so that they form a pattern. There will be an area that has big loops, and then an area with small loops. Since Berber carpets are not cut, but looped, they don't show wear as much as a cut pile carpet.If you look at a piece of carpet, an ordinary piece, you will notice that the tufts come out of the backing and are all cut to the same length. Berber carpets don't have tufts. It is made by looping the carpet material back into the carpet backing so they there are no exposed ends of carpet fibers. This makes Berbers more resistant to wear and they show less traffic patterns. Their downside is that they do not offer the "plushiness" that regular cut pile carpet offers.This style of carpet is named "Berber" because it was originally developed by the Berbers, in North Africa.
