Berber and Loop Carpet Installation in Minneapolis, MN
Berber and level loop are the durable end of carpet, which is why they end up in basements, home offices and busy hallways. The trade-off is seams. Loop construction shows a seam far more readily than a cut pile does, so where the seams fall is a design decision rather than a detail left to the morning of the installation.
Carpe Diem Floors plans seam placement at the measure across Minneapolis, MN, running them out of sightlines and away from doorways where traffic crosses them at right angles. A seam under a window in raking afternoon light is the one people notice for years.
The other Berber reality is snagging. A pulled loop runs rather than staying put, and pet claws are the usual cause. If you have animals, a tighter smaller loop or a patterned loop handles it far better than a wide classic Berber.
Berber is also not one material. Olefin is inexpensive and stain-resistant but crushes underfoot; wool and nylon loop cost more and recover.
