It’s likely that if you don’t currently own any carpet, you will eventually own carpet. Carpet is one of the most popular flooring options available to homeowners. It’s luxurious without breaking the bank. However, even though it’s incredibly popular not many people know a ton about carpet itself. For example, you may have heard the term “carpet pile” but might not know what it means. Luckily Colossal Carpet Care has the answers you’re looking for!
What is a Carpet’s Pile?
Carpet piles are the name given to a carpet’s fibers. Your carpet’s fibers have many differences from other carpet fibers. Many people know that carpet fiber can be natural or synthetic, but pile describes more than that. Pile describes the density, and height of the fibers themselves. The carpet’s pile can be very important to the homeowner.
Why is My Carpet’s Pile Important?
The pile is important because it can tell you a ton about your carpet. While on the day-to-day that might not seem helpful, it’s extremely important to know when you clean your carpets. Luckily, a professional carpet cleaner will be able to find out for themselves. The pile of your carpets can also press downward after constant use. It’ll make your carpet look flat and the carpet will no longer look fuzzy.
Carpet Pile Height
The height of your carpet’s fibers is simply the height of the actual soft part, so not including the backing. The types of heights are generally put into two categories, high pile carpets, and low pile carpets. High pile carpets have tall fibers and are typically soft and cozy. They even have a little bit of a “cushioning effect.” Low pile carpets on the other hand stay together better and are easier to vacuum.
Carpet Pile Density
A carpet’s pile density is how many fibers are in the carpet per square inch. It’s a large factor that people use to determine the quality of the carpet. In general, a higher density is of better quality. If you have a high density, it may be more difficult to clean, but it will be a better carpet overall.

The pile of the carpets of your home can tell you a ton about the carpets themselves. The density determines how many fibers are in each square inch of the carpet, and is sometimes used to determine the quality of the carpet. The height determines the length of the carpet fibers, and over time it is pressed flat. If your carpet is flat, you will want a professional to come and fix it so your carpets will be like new again. The best way to keep your carpets in good shape is to contact Colossal Carpet Care.
