Britain’s best known and most prestigious carpet designer and manufacturer, Axminster has been manufacturing the world’s finest carpets, of the highest possible standard for over 250 years. Axminster Carpets is a proud recipient of the Royal Warrant of Appointment for service, quality and excellence in carpet making and supply to Her Majesty The Queen.
We pride ourselves in creating the very best carpeting for the rail industry, with dedicated designers and project managers, along with rail-specific specifications and production. We’re continually working on lowering our environmental impact, and this is prevalent with our rail products too. We use only sustainable materials, source and weave in the UK and reduce installation waste with our precise quantification service. Our wool carpets have benefits beyond their sustainability, being naturally fire-retardant, insulating, hypoallergenic and sound absorbing.
- Crafted in Britain: We continue to source, weave, and create all of our carpets in the UK. Along with its sustainable benefits, this also allows us to offer short and guaranteed lead times on local projects.
- Expert Quality: Quality, craft and longevity remain at our core, as we pride ourselves on creating the finest quality carpets from only the best, locally sourced wool.
- Investing in Axminster: We are continually investing in our factory, looms and people to maintain and evolve our standards of service, efficiency and sustainability. Our looms are updated and improved to ensure continued quality. We continue to be an important employer to the local community, with third and fourth generation family members dedicated to the expert carpet craft.
