It can be distinguished by its loop pile construction which gives off an appearance of woven knots.<\/p>\n<p>Modern berber carpeting typically comes in\u00a0a dark or light flecked style, resembling the natural hand woven versions. Today, the berber\u00a0carpet we see in homes is different than the traditional rugs made by the tribe.<\/p>\n<p>There are many different <em>types of berber\u00a0carpet<\/em>\u00a0sold in the flooring industry, frequently made from carpet fibers such as wool, nylon, and olefin.

You risk damage to your furry friends or and ugly, frayed out carpeting when you mix the two.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful when you are rearranging your house as well. Dragging furniture across the carpeting can also unravel the loops. Even though it does take a lot of force to unravel the loops, you might not want to risk it.<\/p>\n<p>If these situations don&#8217;t apply to you, then you&#8217;re in luck. berber carpeting may be the perfect fit for your home.
