Woven Axminster

Axminster is a woven carpet construction in which cut pile tufts are mechanically secured within the backing structure by the warp and weft yarns during weaving. It is typically produced using a pile yarn blend of 80% wool and 20% polyamide (nylon). Density specifications such as 7×7, 7×8, 7×9 and 7×10 indicate the number of tufts per inch across the width and rows per inch along the length. Pile height, pile weight and weave density are specified according to the project’s traffic levels and performance requirements. Available in wool and wool–polyamide blends, Axminster carpets can be manufactured in bespoke patterns and colours. They combine comfort, pattern definition and lasting performance for high-traffic hospitality and commercial interiors.
