Carpet Pile refers to the surface of the carpet – the loops of the fibre are attached to the backing of the carpet. These loops are then either left as they are or cut at a length and/or angle. This will affect both the look and feel of the carpet, as well as how it wears over time.
There are two types of carpet pile: cut and loop. Cut pile is made up of individual strands of yarn that are cut at an even length. Loop pile is made up of loops of yarn that are all the same height. Both types of carpet pile have their own unique benefits.
Cut pile is often more durable than loop pile, making it a good choice for high-traffic areas. Loop pile is less likely to show wear and tear, so it may be a better choice for low-traffic areas.
Both types of carpet pile are available in a variety of colors and styles, so you can find the perfect one to match your home décor. When choosing a carpet, be sure to take into account the amount of traffic in the area where it will be installed. Carpets with a higher pile may require more frequent vacuuming to keep them looking their best.
Pile height is one of the most important factors to consider when purchasing a new carpet. The two main types of pile height are short and long. Short pile height is typically between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch. Long pile height is usually between 1/2 inch and 1 inch. The main difference between the two is that short pile height is easier to clean and maintain. It is also more durable and less likely to show footprints or other signs of wear. Long pile height is more comfortable and has a softer feel. It is also more likely to show dirt and stains. When deciding which type of carpet to buy, consider your needs and preferences. If you have children or pets, you may want to choose a short pile height. If you are looking for a carpet that is more comfortable and luxurious, you may want to choose a long pile height. Whichever type of carpet you choose, be sure to vacuum it regularly to keep it looking its best.

While rug or carpet pile heights vary, they typically fall into three categories: low (less than ¼ inch), medium (¼ to ½ inch), and high (½ to ¾ inch). Piles longer than ¾ inch aren't quite as common. These types are usually designated as “plush” pile height because the longer the pile gets, the softer the rug feels.
