Traditional Wiltons are made from 100% wool but modern day techniques have allowed cheaper man made Wiltons to be made, there are different qualities of manmade Wilton, some of exceptional quality the wool Wilton will offer more longevity. These manmade are not woven in the traditional manor & have more design; generally they are made abroad too.

Making a house a home is somehting that can take a lot of time & a lot of passion to get right, brintons have been making carpets for well over 220 years & know full well just how difficult it can be particularly in todays busy modern lifestyle. Britons also appreciate that home is about feeling. They also realise that home is about being able to relax with friends, family and ultimatley being a warm welcoming environment. The perfect starting point for this kind of environment is a Brintons carpet after learning first hand the level of warmth & softness a Brintons can bring you’ll find yourself hard pushed to find anything that can come close.

Brintons carpets dont just come in one size they come in many sizes & styles from plain carpets to naturals to designer patterns. Brintons designer patterned carpets have names to them such a Laura Ashley & the Llewelyn-Bowen collection. All carpets are made with the highest quality with 80& & 20% nylon mix for a long lasting carpet. So long lasting infact Brintons dont just domestic carpets they also make commerical carpets, they’ve recently just carpeted the entire terminal 3 Changi Airport in Singapore (thats a massive 100,000 sq meters). Not surprisingly Brintons have also been asked to carpet some of the worlds largest cruise ships & cenvention centres.

Using an 80/20 mix of Wool & nylon ensures that the production of a Brintons carpet is completely sustainable, so sustainable in fact that wool from 1 in every 8 of Britains sheep ends up in a Brintons carpet & as if that wasnt good enough already the wool that comes from the sheep is totally sustainable as well as shearing the sheep from its wool enhances the animalos welfare, once sheared the sheep simpily scamper off back to the fields ready to grow a new crop. Brintons will also recycle any waste carpet from fitting as well as end of life carpets which also helps to improve the suistainability of a Brintons carpet whilst ensuring a carbon neutral process as well.

Brintons Renaissance Carpets is a post from: Carpets & Flooring

The most crucial time in the long history of carpets dates back to Persian times.  They originated with the ascension of the Safavid rulers, who came to power between 1499 and 1722. To date the original discovery of carpets there are over 1500 historical examples which have been preserved by a number of museums and private collections globally.

It was in the reign of Shah Abbas between 1571 and 1629 that crafts and commerce started to prosper in Persia. The ruler, Shah Abbas encouraged trade and regular contacts around Europe and thus transformed the new capital of Isfahan into the most decadent and glorious cities in the whole of Persia.

Shah encouraged the creation of a court ‘or kingdom’ workshop for carpets which is probably one of the earliest examples of carpet manufacturers which saw skilled craftsmen and carpet designers working tirelessly to create the most lavish of carpets. The majority of the earlier carpets were made from real gold and silver threading for added embellishment and silk was also a popular material in the use of ‘court’ carpets.

It was only when the ‘Axminster’ period arrived in 18th and 19th century England that carpets in the UK began to appear more frequently in homes around England, however, carpet manufacturers were still hand making their carpets individually. Carpet materials changed towards the second part of the 19th century to make mass production possible, resulting in great carpet discount prices, and such materials as cut pile wool are still seen in carpet brands today such as Westex Carpets, Kingsmead Carpets, Cormar Carpets, Brintons, Woodward Grosvenor & other leading manufacturers.

During the Axminster period,  Devon was clearly on the map when it came to carpet manufacturing, however, in recent years due to the sheep farming industry which provided essential wool for the carpet making process meant that carpet manufacturers quickly started to spring up, resulting in carpets in Leeds and West Yorkshire areas of the country.

Generally cut or loop pile, it is the different types of yarn that give the Wilton carpet different textures and appearance.  Because of this method of construction and the waste yarn produced, the Wilton Carpet is unable to match the Axminster carpets ability to have complex patterns and designs.

In addition, carpets that are woven using traditional techniques don’t suffer from the poor stability and delamination that that can occur in tufted carpets with their secondary backing material. 

Tonal effect carpets are a great choice if you want a plain coloured carpet with a dash of design as they are made by using different shades of the same coloured yarn to create a subtle patterned effect.

Wilton Carpets have always been associated with luxury and high quality. As Wilton carpets are woven having high wool contents and designed to last for many years so make a great long term investment which is why many rail, shipping and air companies trust the Wilton name, with Wilton carpets been installed in such places as the QE2, Singapore Airport & many other places worldwide.  

Why incur the cost of relaying cheap carpets every few years when you could invest in a Wilton means that you can choose a carpet which will be in vogue for years to come and which will endure even the busiest homes.
