Berber is Cost Effective
Compared to other carpet styles and other flooring options, Berber is relatively easy on the budget. If maximizing your budget is important to you, Berber is a great way to balance quality and value.
Additional Considerations with Berber
Like all flooring options, Berber has considerations that you should review. The loop construction, which is what makes Berber so durable, can lead to “runs,” which essentially is the carpet unraveling. If you drag a piece of furniture across the floor, snagging a loop of the Berber, it could potentially create a run in your carpet where the backing is exposed. The same potential for damage exists if you have pets. Dog and cat nails can snag in Berber loops if their nails are not kept trim on a regular basis. If damage should happen from furniture, pets, or another source, Berber carpet is difficult to repair.
While Berber is frequently found in living areas, it is not the most plush or luxurious option. Berber can easily stand up well to all kinds of potential problems like messes and foot traffic, but is not considered the most fashion-forward of all carpet styles. However, the pros far outweigh the cons, making Berber a worthy contender when it comes time to upgrade your flooring.
Given the many benefits and few drawbacks of Berber, it is no wonder why it is gaining popularity again.
