Berber can be either, cut pile, or loop pile construction.
Mostly found in loop pile construction, and over the years, loop pile carpets have been referred to as "berber" carpets, when in fact they my not be berber at all, but a solid color loop pile.
What distinguishes Berber carpet from other loop carpets is that Berber has different sized loops. There is no such thing as a cut pile Berber. All Berber carpets are loop pile, and the loops are different sizes. The yarn used to make them has different colors, so the carpet has specks of different colors. Most Berbers have the loops engineered so that they form a pattern. There will be an area that has big loops, and then an area with small loops. Since Berber carpets are not cut, but looped, they don't show wear as much as a cut pile carpet.
If you look at a piece of carpet, an ordinary piece, you will notice that the tufts come out of the backing and are all cut to the same length. Berber carpets don't have tufts. It is made by looping the carpet material back into the carpet backing so they there are no exposed ends of carpet fibers. This makes Berbers more resistant to wear and they show less traffic patterns. Their downside is that they do not offer the "plushiness" that regular cut pile carpet offers.
This style of carpet is named "Berber" because it was originally developed by the Berbers, in North Africa.

When it's time to replace the carpeting in your home, consider purchasing berber carpeting. Berber carpeting is one of the most durable types of carpeting and is a great choice for homeowners with children or pets. The key is to choose a quality carpet, so that your new carpeting will last a very long time. Also, you can get a good price by shopping around and finding your carpeting at a discount.
