WHY WOVEN AXMINSTER CARPET?

Feb. 11

Not only is this Creative Matters carpet for the foyer at Four Seasons Resort Whistler a stunning design, it is also made in the woven Axminster method of construction that will ensure the carpet stays looking this good for many years to come. Many carpets use both pile and backing that provide acceptable durability but it’s the weaving element of construction that sets Axminster apart. On Axminster machines, every tuft of yarn is woven securely with the backing yarn a single operation creating a strong three-dimensional structure. Over the years, we have perfected with our mills both process and design to meet our high standards. We use custom colours strategically, executing beautiful tonal shifts and transitions to achieve elevated designs in a range of projects.
