The pile height of a rug refers to the length of fibers that make up its surface, which can affect its appearance, feel, and durability. It is measured from the rug’s backing to the tip of the fibers.
There are 6 significant rug pile height categories:
- Low pile (6.35 mm)
- Medium pile (6.35 mm to 12.7 mm)
- High pile (12.7 mm to 19.05 mm)
- Multi-level pile (more than 2 pile heights)
- Shag(more than 25.4 mm)
- Flatweave (flat-no pile)
Which is the best pile height for a dining room?
Consider selecting a low pile to option. Low pile height is ideal for high-traffic areas because it is durable and easy to maintain. Additionally, a rug with a lower pile height lends a polished and sophisticated appearance, which is ideal for a formal dining setting.
