There are four primary styles of carpet that we sell and install at Monarch Floor and Window Coverings.

Cut Pile Carpet: This is the most popular style of carpet. The carpet is twisted and looped through the backing and the loops are then cut so that carpet piles stand straight up. This is an economical design that is both durable and comfortable. Variations of cut pile carpet include plush carpet, where the pile is less twisted and is cut level in order to give a very soft and uniform texture; textured carpet, where the pile is cut at a slightly varied height and is often of a two-tone appearance; and flecked carpet, which typically involves a lighter shade of carpet with darker flecks of colour scattered throughout.

Looped Carpet (Berber Carpet): Looped carpet is a hard-wearing design that is suited to high-traffic areas. Level loop carpets are looped at a consistent height to provide a uniform appearance. Multi-level loop carpets vary in height in order to produce a more textured and patterned appearance.

Cut & Loop Carpet: Cut & Loop carpets combine cut pile and looped pile in order to produce patterns and designs that feel soft underfoot and are aesthetically pleasing. Waves, checkers, and many other patterns are produced with this style of carpet.

Frieze Carpet: Frieze carpets are made with heavily twisted pile to provide added strength and texture. A frieze carpet with a high pile height is commonly known as shag carpet.

A range of colours and materials are available in each style of carpet. At Monarch Floor and Window Coverings, we carry thousands of options, and are proficient at assisting clients to identify the options that are best suited to them.
