Woven Carpets
Why Woven Carpets
We supply materials only to B2B clients (distributors, contractors, developers, architects, facility owners). Installation by your appointed carpet contractor.
Woven carpets (Axminster/Wilton) deliver premium texture, dimensional stability and long service life. They are the go‑to choice for upscale hospitality, theatres, lounges, casinos and VIP areas where design impact and durability must align.
-
Dimensional stability: woven construction resists ravel and pattern distortion, ideal for high‑traffic corridors.
-
Premium hand & texture: dense, precise pile placement creates luxurious underfoot feel and intricate motifs.
-
Bespoke design: true custom patterns/colours, logos and gradients with tight pattern registration.
-
Acoustic & comfort: inherently sound‑absorbing textile surface improves guest experience.
-
Lifecycle value: robust build supports extended service life with correct maintenance.
Technical & Compliance
Confirm exact performance values via datasheet/DoP/EPD for the selected line.
Typical Range / Note
-
Axminster, Wilton (velvet/scroll/structured)
-
Wool & blends, solution‑dyed nylon (PA), or wool/nylon mix
-
~4.0–4.57 m (12–15 ft) typical; custom widths by program
-
Traditional woven backings; action‑back or secondary backing options
-
Typically Cfl‑s1 (verify DoP/test per SKU)
-
Defined repeat sizes; coordinate in take‑offs and seam maps
-
Low VOC options; certificates on request
-
High sound absorption; impact sound per datasheet
Design & Installation Notes
-
Seam maps & repeats: prepare detailed seam plans respecting pattern repeat and directional flow.
-
Underlay: select density and resilience for comfort vs traffic; consider double‑stick methods in corridors.
-
Stairs & thresholds: coordinate with Stairs solution; use robust nosings and trims.
-
Matting & protection: implement entrance matting; protect during fit‑out to avoid pile crush.
-
Attic stock: order extra for future compatible patches (same dye lot).
Woven vs Broadloom (Tufted) vs Tiles
Rule of thumb: for signature spaces (lobbies, VIP lounges, theatres) choose Woven; for corridor/room value use tufted broadloom; for flexibility in offices/conference use tiles.

Installation Notes
-
Subfloor prep: ensure flatness and moisture are within limits; prime as required.
-
Adhesives & tackifiers: use the recommended tackifier for lift-and-replace; observe open times and RH/temperature.
-
Seam & pattern alignment: plan arrow/dye-lot orientation; confirm batch control during install.
-
Castor areas: specify chair-rated tiles and backing systems; consider chair mats where appropriate.
Sector‑Specific Guidance
Hospitality (Luxury & Boutique)
- Use custom Axminster in lobbies/ballrooms for brand storytelling; coordinate colours with wallcoverings and hard floors.
Theatres & Cinemas
- Deep tones and patterned woven hide soiling; confirm fire and light reflectance specs for auditoria.
Casinos & Lounges
- High pattern density withstands traffic while supporting wayfinding and zoning through visual rhythm.
Maintenance & Lifecycle
-
Daily vacuuming with periodic hot‑water extraction per guide.
-
Spot cleaning protocols for spills; avoid harsh scrub pads.
-
Rotation & repair: rotate rugs/runners where used; keep attic stock for precise pattern matches.

FAQ
Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions our customers ask when choosing flooring. This section is designed to help you make confident and informed decisions. If you don’t see the information you’re looking for, feel free to contact our support team — we’re always here to help.
When should we choose woven over tufted broadloom?
+
When dimensional stability, premium texture and tight bespoke patterns are priorities (luxury hospitality, theatres).
Are woven carpets suitable for heavy corridor traffic?
+
Yes—woven construction holds pattern and resists ravel; choose dense piles and plan entrance matting.
Can woven carpets be customized to brand colours?
+
Yes—bespoke palettes and motifs are a key strength; strike‑offs confirm colour/pattern before production.
How are repairs handled?
+
Skilled patching with seam control and pattern alignment; keep attic stock from the original batch.
Do you provide installation?
+
No—materials only. Installation by your appointed contractor.
