Difference Between Low Pile and High Pile Carpet

Carpets are used in everyone’s house but do you know there are different types of carpets available in the market. Two most widely used carpet types are as below:

Types of Carpet Pile

  1. Low Pile Carpet
  2. High Pile Carpet
Many people cannot clearly understand the difference between both of them. I will share what makes them different. Knowing these facts will help you in the selection as well as cleaning because the process of low pile carpet cleaning is different than high pile carpet cleaning as well as there are many more differentiation.

Characteristics

Carpets are made of fibers. The height, looseness, and tightness of these fibers put them in different categories:
  • Low pile carpet has tighter loops made of shorter fabric. A majority of carpets used in hotels, offices, and homes are of this type.
  • High pile carpet has looser fabric loops made of longer fabric. Generally used in 70s shag carpets were high pile carpets.

Choices

Sometimes it seems an obvious choice while selecting a carpet, but it is indeed not. Let me help you with this process:
  • If you don’t like to spend much time cleaning then a low pile carpet is a good choice. It accumulates fewer allergens and pollutants. Thus, time spent on low pile carpet cleaning is way lesser compared to its alternative. In fact, simple vacuuming will do the low pile carpet cleaning with minimum efforts.
