How Axminster Carpets Sources and Processes Premium Materials to Ensure Durability and Luxury
Axminster Carpets are woven on state-of-the-art electronic jacquard looms that offer exceptional flexibility in terms of color and design. They are characterized by their ability to produce large scale patterns with an impressive level of clarity and vibrancy. Woven with 80% Virgin Wool/ 20% Antistatic Nylon and skein dyed for vivid colors that bring carpet designs to life, the result is an extremely durable and high-performance floor covering that outperforms any other flooring type.
Woven and tufted construction
The key difference between woven and tufted construction is that with Axminster carpets each tuft of pile yarn is securely woven into place on the loom, locking them in to an integral, three dimensional structure. This eliminates the potential delamination problems and associated bubbles, ripples or premature product failure found with tufted carpets, especially in heavy traffic areas. Additionally, the natural resilience of wool means that each tuft has a natural ability to bounce back, re-form and regain its original shape after compression, which synthetic fibres cannot do.
Manufacture made a comeback
From the beginning, Axminster carpets were a coveted item in the country homes and town houses of aristocracy in England. The intricate patterns were a symbol of wealth and status. However, the manufacturing process was expensive and, for a brief time in the early 19th century, the industry almost collapsed. It wasn’t until the 1930s when a local businessman modernized the weaving process and carpet looms that Axminster manufacture made a comeback.
Greater air purity
Since then, Axminster has continued to be the gold standard in luxury woven carpets. Today, Axminster carpets are the preferred choice of specifiers for prestige and complex hospitality and contract installations because they provide substantial advantages in aesthetics, durability and appearance retention. In addition, they can absorb harmful pollutants such as Nitrogen Dioxide and Sulphur Dioxide contributing to greater air purity.
The Floorist works closely

Conclusion
Each tuft of pile is woven into place on an Axminster loom, locking them in to an integral, 3-dimensional structure that eliminates the potential delamination problems associated with tufted carpets. Each tuft has a natural ability to bounceback and re-form, which increases the longevity of both the pile and the backing. This is the reason why a woven Axminster Carpets Dubai offers superior performance over a tufted carpet in heavy traffic areas. The resiliency of each tuft also allows a woven Axminster to withstand the impact of furniture and other heavy items. With the backing and pile yarns increasing each other’s lifespan, Axminster carpets are able to perform in commercial applications with ease.
