Here are now some of the numerous options available when manufacturing custom made woven axminster carpets, knowing that in most cases they will be made using 80/20 yarn (80% wool et 20% nylon) this blend combining the softness, comfort and warmness of wool, with the hard-wearing properties of nylon.
However some axminster carpets may also be woven using 100% wool or 100% nylon yarms.
Also it is quite easy to understand that by minimising the number of seams, this will not only reduce the fitting cost, but long term speaking also significantly improve the carpet overall durability and self resistance to wearing.

| The criterias commonly used to determine the quality of an axminster carpet are : |
Carpet density
Tuft density is determined by mutliplying the loom's pitch
by the number of rows in the carpet. Pitch is
a set number (generally 7 to 8) which indicates how many warp threads
which will be contained in 2.54 cm (1 inch) of carpet..
The number of rows is a variable which should be specifield
by the customer' need (in fact and again this is related
to where the carpet will be finally fitted and for which kind of end-use,
hotels bedroom or corridors, hotel public areas, domestic/residential
use, commercial building, offices, shops, casinos gambling room, stair
cases etc...)
Rows are woven as weft, and there may be
anywhere from 6 to 14 rows in an inch of Axminster carpet. Therefore,
a 10-row specification woven on a 7-pitch loom would have a tuft density
of 70 tufts per square inch.
Some standard qualities are :
- 6 rows/inch X 7 pitchs/inch = 23,65/dm X 27,60 = ± 65.000
tufts/m²
- 7 rows/inch X 7 pitchs/inch = 27,60/dm X 27,60 = ± 76.176
tufts/m²
- 8 rows/inch X 7 pitchs/inch = 31,55/dm X 27,60 = ± 87.078
tufts/m²
- 9 rows/inch X 7 pitchs/inch = 35,50/dm X 27,60 = ± 97.980
tufts/m²
- 10 rows/inch X 7 pitchs/inch = 39,43/dm X 27,60 = ± 108.827
tufts/m²
- 11 rows/inch X 7 pitchs/inch = 43,38/dm X 27,60 = ± 119.730
tufts/m²
12, 13 and even 14 rows qualities may also be woven.
Even if visual aspect as colour-ways of 2 carpets (for example : one being
woven in 7 rows and the other one in 11 rows density) are identical it
quite obvious that total pile weights and therefore inherent properties
and qualities will be very much different...
| Knowing what will be the end use of an axminster carpet being purchased for, is essential to be in a position to advise properly which will be the most adequate quality |

Pile Height
Pile height is another variable which should be specified
by the customer.
A number of factors must be considered when determining the optimal pile
height - required finished pile weight, end use and traffic, patterns
and fitting method (direct stick, double stick or stretch fitting on felt)
being along them. Pile height can vary from c.a. 5mm to c.a. 12mm

Yarn system and wool origin
Yarn ply (generally, 2 or 3) and thickness are key factors
in establishing an Axminster carpet's finished weight, and (as a consequence)
overall durability.
Generally represented as a fraction (i.e. 2/48's) the
top number indicates yarn ply and the bottom number indicates how many
yards of the yarn weight 1 oz.
Therefore, a 2/48's yarn system is one which has 2 ply, 48 yards of which
weigh 1 oz.
This yarn is, obviously finer than a 2/42's, but heavier than a 2/52's.
According results may drive very quickly to significantly different finished pile weight for carpets woven with same number of rows.
Origin of the raw materials (mainly wool) is also a rather important factor :
Most of the yarn spun in order to be used into axminster carpets construction will be coming from a blend of those different wools.
| Finally, accurate mending, cropping and careful finishing are parts of the manufacturing process as well |
Obviously, all these factors are particulary important to the contract sector
In fact the words "Axminster carpets" covers a huge number of carpet quality options and therefore hotel contract experience as client list are so important at the time of choosing a supplier
