Guide Difference Between Axminster and Wilton Carpet: Comparison and Choice

How do Axminster and Wilton compare?

When to choose Axminster and when Wilton?

• Hotel common areas and event halls: Asil Halı recommends woven Axminster carpet for common areas such as halls and reception; these areas receive high traffic day and night.
• Project-specific, multicoloured designs: with Axminster, the design is prepared on a computer and can be woven in up to 12 colours; it suits projects that want brand colours or a pattern adapted to the architecture.
• Offices, corridors and airports: for these areas Asil Halı specifies a denser Axminster weave (7x9 and above, 7x12 in very busy areas).
• Mosques and masjids: Asil Halı uses the Wilton weaving system for mosque carpets; according to the company, Wilton's durable structure and easy maintenance help the carpet remain in use for years without being replaced.

For hotel projects, see the Axminster hotel carpet page; for mosque projects, see the mosque carpet page.

Why do weave density and traffic matter in the choice?

According to Asil Halı's frequently asked questions, weave density shows how much raw material is used in the carpet; as density increases, heat insulation and durability increase. Pile weight is the weight of fibre per square metre, and a carpet with a higher pile weight is more durable. Carpet weight alone, however, is not an indicator of quality.

In the article How to Choose the Right Carpet for a Hotel Project?, Asil Halı recommends answering the following questions before choosing:

• Will the area be exposed to heavy traffic?
• Is acoustic performance required?
• Can the carpet be maintained regularly?
• Will there be heavy furniture in the area?

Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of dense carpet weaving?

The weaving density is the main element indicating how much yarn (raw material) is used in the carpet. The higher the density, the greater the thermal insulation and the durability. As for the yarn height, it is indicative of the comfort, not the quality. In general, the higher the yarn, the more difficult the cleaning and the higher the comfort.

What is the fluff weight?

The fluff weight is measured by the weight of the fiber per m2. The density of fiber directly affects the durability and performance of the carpet. The carpet with more fluff weight is more durable and more expensive.

Is the quality carpet heavy?

It would not be correct to say that the weight of the carpet is completely proportional to its quality. The weight of a carpet will increase as its density of weaving increases. A quality carpet is heavy, but every heavy carpet is not quality. The quality will vary according to the material used.
