Carpet Specifications

The Wilton Carpet Factory Ltd (Wilton Carpets) is accredited to the latest ISO 9001 standards so you can be sure of the highest quality on all axminster, wilton weave and tufted carpets leaving our UK factory. We can provide detailed specifications for each and every one of our carpets and designs. Please just ask.

Specification Details

The following specification details are typically available:
Construction: Detailing whether the carpet and/or design is either an Axminster, Wilton or Tufted construction.

Pile Content: the vast majority of our carpets are made of 80% wool and 20% nylon, with typically more than 50% of the wool coming from British sheep. THis wool-ruch blend ensures your carpet will be hard wearing and keep its looks for years to come with heavy contract use in any commercial environment. This classification conforms to BS 3655. We can manufacture carpet with 100% Wool or 100% Nylon, according to requirements.

Quality/Rows: For Axminster and Wilton weave carpets, the measure of rows per inch (or per 10cm) is provided. This can range from 6cm per inch to 12cm per inch.

Pile Weight: the weight of the pile can be provided in grammes per square metre, or ounces per square yard, according to ISO 8543/BS 4223.
