What is Berber Carpet?

Berber carpet, sometimes referred to as loop carpet, is one of the most popular types of carpet on the market today—thanks to its casual style, high durability, and easy-to-maintain construction. While Berber is suitable for any part of the home where carpet is typically installed, it’s most common in casual, high-traffic areas like bedrooms, hallways, or family rooms.

Berber carpet’s low-pile, tightly-woven fibers make it one of the most durable types of carpet available.
That dense construction also helps prevent debris and spills from sinking into the fibers, making Berber carpets more stain-resistant and easier to clean.
Although some products use bold colors, most Berber carpets feature neutral, earth-toned colors.

Shop Berber Carpet by Style or Color

The most popular styles of Berber carpeting are earth tones like tan or brown. This neutral, casual styling helps Berber seamlessly integrate with a wide range of interior design schemes and makes it easier for homeowners to update their style without needing to change carpets. Empire also offers various patterned Berber carpet products, which are great at helping disguise minor stains in busy areas of the home.

Why Should You Choose Berber Carpet?

Deciding between carpet and a hard surface floor like wood or vinyl is just the first step in the floor shopping experience. If you opt for carpet, you’ll then need to settle on a specific type of carpet. So, of all the options available, why should you choose Berber carpeting? To put it succinctly: versatility. Berber is generally considered to be the most versatile of all types of carpet thanks to its combination of styling, durability, and ease of upkeep.

Because of its durability and low maintenance needs, you’ll often find Berber carpet installed in bedrooms, playrooms, and any common areas of the home. However, its natural appearance might be a bit too casual to be used in formal areas like upscale living or dining rooms. For those areas, customers tend to opt for frieze or plush carpet floors. But for customers looking to have carpet installed that will be an all-around great performer while still giving their home an aesthetic revamp, it’s hard to beat Berber.

Berber Carpet FAQs

Although its dense construction and low pile height would seem to be a good match for your furry friends, Berber carpet is not recommended for homes with pets. This is due to the looped fibers, which can snag your dog or cat's claws, causing them discomfort or even serious injury. The best carpets for pets are cut-pile carpets like plush or frieze.

Interior design trends can change rapidly, rendering some style choices outdated after just a year or two. While Berber carpet is not the trendiest floor product available today, its unassuming character can actually be an advantage. Berber’s casual, neutral appearance tends to work well with a wide variety of design styles, so if you’re someone who likes to change the color of your walls every year, a Berber carpet makes an excellent foundation for a wide range of aesthetics.

Berber carpeting is one of the easiest carpets to clean, thanks to the tight weave of its fibers which help keep dirt and debris on the carpet surface. Some of the Berber carpets available from Empire also include special treatments that enhance stain resistance.

Empire continually strives to make getting beautiful new carpet an easy, hassle-free experience, and a major part of that is our quick carpet installation turnaround time. In many cases, we can begin installing carpet the very Next Day after your in-home consultation.

Ready to Get New Berber Carpet Installed in Your Home?

As a short loop carpet, Berber strikes an optimal balance between practicality and comfort. It feels great underfoot but is easier to maintain than a carpet with long, loose fibers. Its earthen tones and knotty texture tend to add a sense of visual warmth to any room, while also feeling physically warmer than a hard surface like tile. If you’ve settled on Berber as the best choice for your next renovation, Empire is here to make the shopping and carpet installation process as stress-free as possible.
