Medium pile rugs combine the luxurious appearance of the high pile with a short, tight weave functionality. These rugs types are the most popular on the market, with fibers compact enough to make cleaning easier. Low pile rug fibers are usually under ¼- inch in height, while high can be anywhere from ½-inch to ¾-inch tall. Medium pile rugs measure ¼-inch to ½-inch high.
This
is the material from which carpet strands are made. Nylon fibers make
up over 50% of residential rugs, are ultra-strong, and have excellent
stain resistance and resiliency. Polyester, another commonly used
synthetic, is non-absorbent with superior stain resistance.
Olefin
is budget-friendly and most often associated with the Berber (looped)
style, while Triexta has permanent stain resistance built into the
fiber. Wool is the most common natural fiber. It is durable, has good
resiliency, excellent color retention, and is easy to clean.
