Woven Carpet
Why Choose Woven Carpets?
Woven carpet is a high-quality type of carpet manufactured using traditional weaving techniques. This method produces a durable, luxurious product with intricate designs and a superior finish. Woven carpets are considered the pinnacle of craftsmanship.
Woven carpets are created by interlacing the pile (the upper layer of fibres) and backing together on a loom, ensuring a tight bond and long-lasting durability. There are two main types of woven carpets:
- Axminster: Known for intricate patterns and vibrant colours. Made with individual tufts of yarn woven into the backing. Offers more design flexibility, making it ideal for custom patterns.
- Wilton: This fabric features continuous yarn woven into the backing, allowing for textures like cut, loop, or a combination of both. It often has a luxurious, smooth finish and fewer design options than Axminster.
Key Characteristics of Woven Carpet
- Durability: The weaving process creates a robust, tightly constructed carpet that resists wear and tear. It is ideal for high-traffic areas like hallways and stairs.
- Luxurious Finish: The manufacturing process allows for intricate patterns and a high-quality, tailored look.
- Material Options: Typically made from high-grade materials such as wool, wool blends, or premium synthetic fibres.
- Longevity: Woven carpets have a longer lifespan than most tufted carpets, making them a worthwhile investment.
