Advantages of Berber Carpet
Stain resistance is Berber’s biggest strength. It’s a tight weave that makes it tough for stains to penetrate. Many people are attracted to its unique “handcrafted” appearance (Berber carpets are made in factories like every other carpet, so they are not truly handcrafted.) It also doesn’t show footprints or vacuum marks. As long as the carpet is clean and taken care of, it maintains its original appearance. The cherry on top is that if you like Berber carpets, they typically don’t break the bank. Depending on the fiber used, it is a relatively inexpensive style
