Woven Axminster

Our Axminster quality carpeting is woven of 80% New Zealand wool for long-lasting beauty and 20% anti-static nylon for additional strength in heavy traffic areas. The two-ply yarns are pressure dyed for vivid colors that make carpet designs come alive. As the ultimate choice of specifiers for prestige and complex contract and hospitality installations, high-performance, 80% wool/20% nylon Axminster carpets provide substantial advantages in terms of aesthetics, durability, appearance retention and value over any other flooring surface on the market.

As a result of its natural resilience, 80% wool/20% nylon Axminster carpets, provide such important added benefits as long-term appearance retention, ease of maintenance, and excellent recovery from compression. By absorbing harmful pollutants such as Nitrogen Dioxide and Sulphur Dioxide, has a contributing factor towards air purity. As an alternative to 80% wool/20% nylon Axminster carpet, we also offer the option of other pile yarns, including 100% solution dyed nylon and 100% yarn dyed nylon.

By combining our established creative and technical expertise at the beginning of a project and employing our innovative Omni Weave Electronic Jacquard Technology to produce entire designs in “woven to plan” full-length rolls, we are able to engineer carpets with no limitations to complexity of design. This innovative technology results in little or no cross joining, reduced seaming costs and installation time, allows for perfect corner details, repeats, color placement and most importantly, provides reduced wastage and added longevity.

The design repeat can be virtually any width or length, creating an ever increasing variety of designs, which require only limited selvedge seaming. Initial design concepts and working drawings are assessed by our design and planning teams to create detailed technical drawings, illustrating how the design fits together and where each roll should be installed.

Woven on looms that offer a unique flexibility in terms of colors and design, each tuft of pile yarn in an Axminster carpet is individually woven into place. This integral construction process allows even the most complex and intricate designs to be created with pin-point precision and high-definition. All carpets are comprised of a pile material and a backing. The superior difference of woven Axminster to a tufted construction is in the weaving process. On Axminster looms the pile and backing materials are woven together in a single operation. This eliminates the potential of delamination, and resultant bubbles, ripples, and potential premature product failure which may occur in heavy traffic areas with tufted carpet. The interweaving of the pile and backing results in each face yarn of the carpet being locked into place by the warp and weft threads. This unique construction process provides Axminster carpets with superior durability and appearance retention, purposely designed to withstand the wear and tear that is often associated with high traffic areas.
