When purchasing rugs of any size, the term “pile” may come up. This means the density and length of the fibers. It can be described as low/high, short/long, or flat/shaggy. To put it in layman’s terms: Stacking is all about how fluffy the rug is. Generally, low pile is less than ¼ inch, medium ¼ to ½ inch, and long ½ to ¾ inch.
In general, short rugs are more durable. They are also easier to clean/vacuum than deep pile carpets. That means When considering different hallway runners for a high traffic hallway, check out the stacks below. You don’t need the shortest stack, however, as this is often too delicate for high-traffic areas.
So what to do if you just like the style and softness? Shag/High Pile Floor Runner? Place them in hallways with less foot traffic, e.g. B. in a back corridor around rooms that are used less often.
