The pile height measurement is not usually shown on the carpet sample however all you need is a tape measure.
Tile to carpet height difference.
On stairs i recommend a carpet pile height of 1 2 or less and a carpet padding thickness of 7 16 or less and a pile density rating of at least 8 pounds.
Don t include the carpet backing just the soft fibers from the backing up.

T molding transition strips have two lips to cover the edges of both surfaces when flooring products differ no more than about 3 8 inch in height.
While installation manipulation with padding and underlayment help iron out these inconsistencies sometimes the only option is to work with a threshold to bridge the gap between the two materials used and make an even transition.
