The gold standard in carpets, woven Axminster carpets are not only beautiful, the strength and durability inherent in their construction make them sought after by commercial and domestic clients alike looking for visually stunning and hard wearing flooring solutions.
Woven Axminster Carpets
Axminster carpets by The Floorist are woven of 80% Virgin wool / 20% anti-static nylon for long-lasting beauty and additional strength in heavy traffic zones. The two-ply yarns are skein dyed for vivid colours that bring carpet designs to life. As the ultimate choice of specifiers for prestige and complex contract and hospitality installations, wool-rich Axminster carpets provide substantial advantages in aesthetics, durability, appearance retention and overall value.
As a result of its natural resilience, wool-rich Axminster carpets provide added benefits such as long-term appearance retention, excellent recovery from compression and by absorbing harmful pollutants such as Nitrogen Dioxide and Sulphur Dioxide contributes towards improved air quality.
As an alternative to wool-rich Axminster carpet, The Floorist also offers the other pile blends, including 50% Wool / 50% Nylon as well as 100% nylon.
By combining our established creative and technical expertise at the beginning of a project and employing advanced weaving technology to produce entire designs in “woven to plan” full-length rolls, The Floorist can engineer carpets with no limitations to design complexity. This innovative technology results in little or no cross joining, reduced seaming costs and installation time, allows for perfect corner details, repeats and colour placement, and most importantly produces minimal waste.
The design repeat can be virtually any length, creating an ever-increasing variety of designs, which require only limited selvage seaming. Initial design concepts are assessed by our design and planning teams to create detailed technical drawings, illustrating how the design fits together and where each full roll element should be installed.
Using state-of-the-art high speed Axminster looms, The Floorist can produce highly complex and creative designs, with the use of up to sixteen colours and in a choice of widths. Having such manufacturing flexibility and versatility, each custom Axminster carpet produced is truly distinctive and a wonderful expression of the designers creativity.
