WOVEN AXMINSTER HIGH TRAFFIC BROADLOOM CARPET
Royal American’s Axminster Carpet contains a plush surface and is most suitable for Hospitality and Public Spaces with high foot traffic, such as Hotels, Country Clubs, Casinos, Convention Centers, and various entertainment establishments. We produce a majority of our Axminster Carpet using a blend of 80% Wool and 20% Anti-Static Nylon, however, we can also construct this carpet with other yarn contents, such as Nylon or Solution-Dyed Nylon.
Our Axminster machinery produces a Woven Carpet, in which the backing is woven at the same time as the pile insertion. This method of construction therefore does not require a secondary backing. The threads are interlocked in such a way that the tufts of carpet are secured between themselves, row by row. The benefits are enormous, contributing to durability, strength, and unique flexibility. Machine-Tufted Carpets on the other hand, apply a secondary backing with an adhesive. These components have the potential of delamination or bubbling, sometimes causing untimely failure. This is an issue known to occur mostly in high-traffic areas.
Royal American's Axminster Carpet is a luxurious and durable product, often specified by designers, architects, and end-users to add performance and value to floors. This type of Carpet construction is ideal for luxurious Hotel Interiors, Public Corridors, Convention Centers, and many more prestigious settings. Depending on the project scope and budget, we can adjust the density by adjusting the rows. We also can produce Custom Axminster Carpet that is IMO certified, where we add a special fire-retardant during the dyeing process helping to improve the performance and meet the requirements of the International Maritime Organization fire testing procedures.
