Pile
The pile of a rug refers to the way the fibres are finished. These are either trimmed or untrimmed (or sometimes a combination of the two) to produce the required designs in a rug.
Carpet pile has to do with the density of the carpet fibers that are used to create the weave on rugs and carpets. Along with carpet thickness, the length of the individual fibers used in the weave also determines the carpet pile. Pile varies from one carpet design to another, ranging from a right flat pile all the way to a long shag pile.
The amount of fiber used in the carpet pile often plays a major role in determining the production cost for any given rug. Along with the quantity, the type of fiber will also make a difference in the quality of the pile, as well as the final price. Several different types of fiber are used to create carpet. Some are more resilient than others, and are priced accordingly.
