Pile refers to the density of fibers as well as their thickness. Usually, carpet with a shorter pile will last a little longer than carpet with a longer pile. Carpeting is woven in loops, and these loops can be cut to create different styles of flooring. Loop pile carpet tends to hold up better cut pile carpet, which has a softer and denser feel. Look for the TPI when comparing cut pile samples. The turns per inch number tell you how many times the strands of fiber are twisted together. 6 TPI indicates a good quality carpet. Proper installation, which includes premium padding, ensures that carpeting will be in good shape the maximum number of years.
